Andre Villas-Boas<\/a> claims that he will run the club in a democratic manner, insisting that he is not a dictator.<\/p>\nThe 33-year-old was appointed as the successor to Italian Carlo Ancelotti, who was sacked after a trophyless season at Stamford Bridge. In contrast, the young Portuguese manager created history by becoming the youngest ever tactician to win a European trophy – adding the Europa League to a domestic double last season.<\/p>\n
Discussing his managerial style, Villas-Boas told The Mirror:<\/em> “I\u2019m no dictator.<\/p>\n“I encourage freedom of choice in football. Players can only achieve their true \u00adpotential if they are not \u00adshackled and are able to stand on their own two feet.<\/p>\n
“Creativity in my players is important. I love the unpredictable part of the game.<\/p>\n
“I strongly believe that \u00adplayers have to express themselves to their full potential, they must be able to make choices during the game.”<\/p>\n
Villas-Boas also admitted that he has landed his dream job, and hopes to fulfil his managerial potential in the role.<\/p>\n
“I want \u00adsuccess. I have expectations and want to look back on a career I can be proud of,” he said. “I want to win \u00adchampionships, I want to explore other leagues and embrace different social and cultural behaviour.<\/p>\n
“This job is all I ever wanted. I accept people may view it as a gamble employing someone so young, but if I didn\u2019t believe I could succeed what is the point?”<\/p>\n
Villas-Boas is the seventh manager in Roman Abramovich’s eight-year reign as Chelsea owner, succeeding Claudio Ranieri, Jose Mourinho, Avram Grant, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Guus Hiddink and Ancelotti.<\/p>\n
