Andre Villas-Boas's ex-employer at Porto, Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, believes the young Portuguese manager was wrong to move to Chelsea.Villas-Boas has had a difficult beginning to his career in west London as Chelsea have struggled to match the results of recent years.
They currently sit fifth in the Premier League and outside the Champions League qualification places.
And after just one season at Porto, Pinto da Costa believes it was too soon for the 34-year-old to try his hand in England.
"Villas-Boas went because of the huge offer Chelsea made (€15 million)," Pinto da Costa told La Gazzetta dello Sport."The other thing that weighed heavily was the difficulties he had in emulating Mourinho's Champions League victory in 2004.
"He left thinking that Chelsea was a unique opportunity, but I believe that was a mistake because there would have been others."
