Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas admits he's serious about winning the Europa League.

Villas-Boas lifted the trophy in 2011 with Porto before embarking on an ill-fated stint at Chelsea which lasted 256 days.

He now wants to win the trophy again to help ease the pain of his short-lived reign at Stamford Bridge.

"After the disappointments I went through last year it would be great to grab the chance of a European trophy," he said.

"We won the Europa League with Porto. Both are top clubs."
