Andre Villas-Boas celebrates wildly after becoming Porto president with landslide election win... as the ex-Chelsea and Tottenham boss declares the Portuguese giants are 'free again'

Former Chelsea and Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas has been confirmed as president of Porto after a landslide election victory.

The 46-year-old has not managed a club since leaving his last role with Marseille in February 2021.

Villas-Boas, who took charge of 81 top flight matches in England between 2011 and 2013, secured a return to his former club Porto with a stunning election victory.

The former Porto manager secured 80.3 per cent of the vote to unseat Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, the 86-year-old incumbent, who had been in charge for 42 years.
