Porto coach Villas-Boas yet to accept Chelsea terms after marathon Abramovich meeting

Porto coach Andre Villas-Boas is yet to agree terms with Chelsea, it has been revealed.

The Daily Express says he was last night keeping Roman Abramovich waiting, as he decided whether to accept his offer to become Chelsea's new manager.

Porto coach Villas-Boas, 33, who has been dubbed the new Jose Mourinho, has been offered a deal worth about £5million a year to succeed Carlo Ancelotti.

Villas-Boas had four hours of talks with Abramovich in Portugal on Saturday, but has not yet committed himself to the job - which would be a massive step up despite his phenomenal success at Porto last year, where he completed the domestic treble and won the Europa League.
