Porto coach Villas-Boas insists he is not chasing Chelsea job

Andres Villas-Boas has assured Porto fans he isn't chasing a move to Chelsea.

Villas-Boas insists he wants to try and emulate Jose Mourinho's achievement of making Porto a force to be reckoned with in the Champions League next season, rather than leave for pastures new.

"I am very happy at Porto. It's the city where I grew up. It's my home club and I don't see it easy to leave it," Villas-Boas said.

"We are focused on winning the Europa League and next year we will go into the Champions League.

"You cannot say that by reaching the final in the Europa League you will win the Champions League the next year (like Mourinho did). It's not that straightforward.

"Next year we hope to get through the group stage, then maybe the quarter-final or further. Let's dream a little bit more."
