Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas doesn't believe player power cost him his job at Chelsea.

AVB does not believe that was the case and insists he holds no grudges towards his former players.

He said: "No, I've seen a couple of them - most of them are my friends and I have a good relationship with them.

"My feelings towards them are completely normal. They are people I recognise, I shake hands and we have a chat.

"I mean, we are not there to have a chat. We are there to compete but certainly there are people that I have personal relationships with, most of whom I have seen.

"I don't feel animosity towards them. Not at all.

"And I don't think it has any kind of influence on the running of the game.

"I am worried much more about the running of the game, rather than whatever happened in the past."
