JOSE MOURINHO'S announcement that he wants to return to English football next season will not cause Andre Villas-Boas to lose any sleep, according to the Chelsea boss.

The former Blues supremo, in his second season with Real Madrid, has made no secret of his desire to make a return to the Premier League, but the man currently in the Stamford Bridge hotseat believes he is no more at risk of losing his job to his former colleague than any of his rivals.

“At the moment, there is not a vacancy at this club, and the Real Madrid manager is not available at the moment, because he's tied up to the best club in the world,” Villas-Boas said.

“The only thing I could say is that I've lived through Jose's availability when we were out of Chelsea, and I know how many clubs came knocking on his door.

“A manager of Jose's dimension and the number one in the world, will always be an attractive target, for whatever club.

“A manager [like him] who makes himself available to return to his beloved England will for sure capture the interests of City, United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal and so on.

“In that sense, we are all under pressure – from Roberto Mancini to Alex Ferguson to me to Kenny Dalglish, to Harry Redknapp and so on.”
