Andre Villas-Boas says he would rather manage in JAPAN than return to the Premier League after being sacked by Chelsea and Tottenham as he would prefer to 'discover Japanese culture'

Andre Villas-Boas has claimed he would like to take his managerial career to Japan next, rather than return to England after his frustrating spells at both Chelsea and Tottenham.

The Marseille manager arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2011 after winning the Portuguese league, cup and Europa League with Porto the season before.

But his time at Chelsea lasted just nine months and he was sacked in March 2012 with the Blues lying fifth in the table.
