Andre Villas-Boas posts rare photo with Sir Bobby Robson, the man who gave him his first job in football, to celebrate 300th game as a manager

Andre Villas-Boas has kicked off a month-long series of photos ahead of his 300th game as a manager by posting a rare image with the great Sir Bobby Robson on his Instagram account.

The Shanghai SIPG manager will take charge of the landmark game against reigning champions Guangzhou Evergrande on April 4 and has committed to posting a historical photo of his career every day until then.

But it will be hard to match his first, which shows a 17-year-old Villas-Boas reading a copy of FourFourTwo magazine alongside Robson way back in 1995. It represents the very beginning of the Portuguese's unusual rise into elite football management.
