Villas-Boas seeks silverware

New Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas believes he can satisfy the club's thirst for silverware.

 The new Blues boss accepts he will be held to the highest of standards at Stamford Bridge but is ready to meet that challenge head-on.

The 33-year-old, who worked in Jose Mourinho's backroom team during his time at the club, was on Wednesday confirmed as Carlo Ancelotti's successor on a three-year deal that will see Chelsea pay Porto a release fee of around £13.3m

Ancelotti was the latest coach to be shown the door by owner Roman Abramovich in his quest for domination at home and in Europe, paying with his job for a trophyless year despite winning the double in his first season.

Villas-Boas knows plenty about the level of expectation demanded by Abramovich, having observed at first hand Mourinho's tenure before joining him at Inter Milan.

With a domestic double and the Europa League to his name in just one season in charge of Porto, Villas-Boas is confident he can deliver the desired results
