Wenger: Marseille coach AVB too young taking Chelsea job

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is happy seeing Andre Villas-Boas in charge of Marseille.

Wenger feels Villas-Boas took the Chelsea job too soon.

He said, "He may have been a little young at the time when he came to Chelsea. He took little break and sometimes it does not hurt in mid-career. From what I have seen since the beginning of the season, his team has the desire.

"It is a little limited in potential. Marseille today does not have the level to play the title of champion of France. But he managed to get the team behind him and instill a dynamic in the team. If he finishes in the first six, I think he has really had a good season."
