Villas-Boas not a one man band

New Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas said it will take more than his appointment to help the club regain the English Premier League title.

The 33-year-old was unveiled as the replacement for Carlo Ancelotti on Wednesday, after a fantastic season at the helm of Porto.

Villas-Boas guided Porto to the Portuguese league title – going unbeaten in their 30 games – as well as the Taca de Portugal and the Europa League.

But rather than viewing his appointment as a cure-all, Villas-Boas said the club will need to pull together to take the fight to new champions Manchester United.

“Don’t expect something from one man,” Villas-Boas told Chelsea TV.

“Expect us to create a group dynamic of everybody getting together, with the fans getting together, with people getting excited with the motivation that is in and around us.”

“In the new way of communicating and the new leadership – this is the most important thing.”

“It is not about my arrival. It is about the continuous success of this club.”

Villas-Boas, who was part of Jose Mourinho’s support team during his time at Chelsea, said the challenge was to build on the success the Londoners have enjoyed throughout the past few seasons.

“Let’s reflect on the success of the past six years at this club and what we have achieved and now what we can achieve in the next six years again,” he said.

“There is no doubt that the challenge for me is to keep winning.”

“I am an individual who has that hunger for success and I want to keep it that way.”
