Chelsea boss Villas-Boas feels job secure despite poor Cup showing

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas remains confident in his job after their poor FA Cup draw at Birmingham City.

Chelsea will need to improve immeasurably to avoid crashing out of the Champions League, with only two days to find a solution to their miserable form before the first leg of their last-16 tie in Italy.

But even if they fail to progress, Villas-Boas was confident he would not be sacked by billionaire Blues owner Roman Abramovich.

Asked if the outcome would have any impact on his future, the 34-year-old said: "No, not at all.

"It's not up to me to decide that. You have to ask that question to the right person."
