Former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas admits a move to Italy is attractive.

He has been out of work since 2017 after leaving Shanghai SIPG to drive the Dakar rally.

“Italy obviously interests me," Villas-Boas, who was Jose Mourinho's assistant at Inter, told Corriere dello Sport.

“From a tactical point of view it's one of the most difficult leagues. Over the years I've had contact with Inter, Roma and other clubs.

“It never reached real negotiations though as either I was tied to another club or we didn't agree on the project."
