West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson says Andre Villas-Boas shouldn't be surprised by the pressure of the Chelsea job.

Ex-Inter Milan coach Hodgson insists pressure always comes with the high paying jobs.

"I guess he knew moving from Porto to Chelsea, for the enormous salary and with the enormous ambitions of the owner, that it wasn't going to be an easy job," he smiled.

"That's basically how it's turned out. There have been an awful lot of managers at Chelsea in the last eight or nine years.

"So I suppose you can't be surprised that, if you go to that club, you come under enormous scrutiny every time your team is not top of the table."
