Head coach André Villas-Boas Date of birth: 17 October 1977 Nationality: Portuguese Coaching career: A. Académica de Coimbra, FC Porto, Chelsea FC, Tottenham Hotspur FC, FC Zenit • An amateur player in his teens with Ramaldense FC and Clube Marechal Gomes da Costa, Villas-Boas never played professional football, laying the groundwork for a coaching career with a spell as a teenage talent scout during Sir Bobby Robson's spell as coach of Porto in the mid-1990s. • Still in his 20s, he took on a role as technical director with the British Virgin Islands Football Association in 2000, but was back working with Porto's youth players by the time José Mourinho took him into his inner circle following his appointment as Porto coach in January 2002. • Initially detailed to scout upcoming opponents, he followed Mourinho from Porto to Chelsea and FC Internazionale Milano before striking out on his own as coach of Académica in October 2009. An 11th-placed finish in his only season in Coimbra was enough to persuade Porto to bring him in as Jesualdo Ferreira's replacement; hired in June 2010, he became the club's youngest ever coach aged just 32. • Oversaw a memorable 2010/11 campaign at the Estádio do Dragão, becoming the first Portuguese to guide a side through a Liga campaign unbeaten, winning the Super Cup, national championship and Portuguese Cup as well as the UEFA Europa League after beating SC Braga in the Dublin final. • Joined Chelsea in June 2011 but lasted just nine months By the start of 2012/13 he was at Tottenham, who he guided to fifth with a club record Premier League points haul, before departing after a poor start to the following season. In March 2014 took over at Zenit, guiding them to the Russian Premier League title in his first full season in charge. Nuno Espírito Santo Date of birth: 25 January 1974 Nationality: Portuguese Playing career: Vitória SC, SC Vila Real, RC Deportivo La Coruña, CP Mérida, CA Osasuna, FC Porto (twice), FC Dinamo Moskva, CD Aves Coaching career: Rio Ave FC, Valencia CF • A journeyman goalkeeper as a player, Nuno made his professional debut with Guimarães side Vitória before moving across the frontier from Portugal to Spain to join Deportivo in 1997. • He also played for Spanish sides Mérida and Osasuna, as well as Dinamo Moskva in Russia, but experienced his greatest success in two spells with Porto, where he won four Liga titles and three Portuguese Cups; was an unused substitute during the Dragons' 2003 UEFA Cup and 2004 UEFA Champions League final victories. • After completing his coaching qualifications in Scotland – like compatriot and former boss José Mourinho – Nuno cut his teeth with Portuguese outfit Rio Ave. He inspired the modest club to a highest ever sixth-place Liga finish in his first season and the following year led them to two cup finals for the first time in their history, as well as earning the side a maiden UEFA Europa League berth. • Those feats earned Nuno the top job at Valencia in July 2014, and he propelled the Mestalla outfit to fourth place during his first campaign, thus securing their UEFA Champions League return after a two-season absence. • Renowned for his exciting brand of intense, rapid counterattacking football, Nuno built his early successes at Valencia on strong home form and a goal threat from many positions. He has also developed a reputation for putting his faith in fresh, young talents.
