LISBON (Reuters) – English Premier League fans should expect new Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho to attract a lot of attention next season, Tottenham Hotspur coach Andre Villas-Boas said.
In an interview published in Monday’s edition of Portuguese sports daily O Jogo, Villas-Boas said his compatriot’s return will vastly improve the visibility of the Premier League.
“It won’t be possible to take your eyes away from Mourinho,” he said.
“One of his characteristics, and I don’t say it in a negative way, is to deviate attentions, positive and negative, in such a way that the team is only worried about winning.”
Villas-Boas said he is intrigued by next season’s Premier League race which will feature Mourinho and also have David Moyes as Manchester United’s new coach, following the departure of Alex Ferguson after 26 years at the club.
“These are two deep changes to English football…it will be interesting,” he said in an interview while on holiday in Porto before competing in a celebrity car race.
“The fear that came from playing Alex Ferguson’s sides made everything harder and that may still continue if (Moyes’s) adaptation is fast. That is something I am curious to see”
