Chelsea's new manager Andre Villas-Boas says the late great Bobby Robson was a huge influence in his career. Andre Villas-Boas: "Bobby was a very important person in my career. "He was the person who advised me at a very young age to go on coaching courses and unlocked the doors of Porto for me to have access to his training sessions. "We had a very good relationship and he was someone I respected a lot and was respected in world football. "What he did he did not only with me and Jose but with all different kinds of people, promoting them and inspiring them to take their own role and their own way. "He is somebody who means a lot to the English game and I think he would be happy of course, to see me here at Chelsea now."
