Villas-Boas bill for Chelsea: £32 MILLION!

Andre Villas-Boas received an amazing £12 MILLION compo pay-out from Chelsea after barely eight months in charge at Stamford Bridge. The Daily Mail says Chelsea confirmed the Portuguese coach, who lasted just seven months, has now settled his claim with them, after being sacked in March.

Chelsea also had to fork out a £10m 'transfer fee' when they hired Villas-Boas after he won the treble in his first season with Porto.

It means the total bill for Villas-Boas, including his £125,000-a-week salary, stands at £32m for just seven months' work.
