End of Road for Villas Boas?

It was only in June 2011 when Andre Villas Boas had led Porto to a historic treble; winning the Portuguese Liga, Portuguese Cup and the Europa League and catching the eyes of an Russian oligarch in the form of Roman Abramovich with his sides mesmerising all attacking all conquering brand of football, crushing every opponent on his way. This is the brand of football that Abramovich had been looking to emulate at Chelsea and at last bring the Champions League trophy to Stamford Bridge. Thus Villas Boas became the seventh manager at Stamford Manager under the Abramovich regime destined to take the club to new heights.
Villas Boas induced his flair and style of play into Chelsea but after a sweet honeymoon period as the results started to go the other way, he soon began to fall apart with his biggest mistake being taking on the Chelsea old guards head on. It was no surprise that he was soon shown the door but what added insult to the injury was that caretaker manager Roberto di Matteo managed to turn out the same squad into Champions League and FA Cup winners within a matter of months.
Some might say Villas Boas was too early in his career to manage a club of the magnitude of Chelsea, especially where you have to deliver results immediately and would be hardly given any chance to settle down. Many would also question Villas Boas rationale to leave Porto after such a successful campaign especially when the President promised to hold on to the squad and push for Champions League glory in the upcoming campaign.
Villas Boas did a good job with Spurs and made all the news this transfer window with the sale of Bale dragging on to the last hour and Spurs themselves breaking their own transfer record thrice bringing in Soldado, Paulinho and Lamela. The burden of expectation was much higher on Villas Boas this time round and thus the pressure was always mounting. Lying seventh in the table Spurs were in no way out of the contention but Villas Boas was losing control, be it with his critics or with the Spurs hierarchy.
Villas Boas leaves England with his reputation severely dented and with much to ponder with. It is apparent that what Villas-Boas needs now, is time away from England. Premier League football has been tough for even the most experienced and hardened of managers, and it may be better off for Villas Boas to hone his skills in a different country. Also the high media involvement in the Premier League makes it all the more difficult for new managers to settle in. But at 36, Villas Boas surely has all the ingredients to become a successful manager provided he learns from his mistakes. Villas-Boas, if he returns, will come back to the Premier League a better manager. But that would take a considerable amount of time.
