The Portuguese manager will join fellow petrolheads in racing across Peru, Bolivia and Argentina in the latest edition of the famous race
Andre Villas-Boas has revealed that he will swap his team-sheet for the steering wheel by racing in the 2018 Dakar Rally.
The Portuguese manager has had terms at clubs like Tottenham, Chelsea and Zenit over the course of his career. Most recently, Villas-Boas had been managing Chinese Super League club Shanghai SIPG, but resigned from his post this week after losing in the country's FA Cup final to rivals Shanghai Shenhua.
Now it appears he is leaving football to gear up for a greater challenge — running in the gruelling race over the new year.
