Andre Villas-Boas has again expressed his confidence that Gareth Bale will stay at Tottenham this summer.
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho's return to Chelsea means that Villas-Boas will go head-to-head with his old boss next season when he faces the Europa League winners. The 35-year-old served as an assistant to Mourinho at Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan and eventually occupied the Stamford Bridge hotseat himself during an unsuccessful eight-month spell. And while he admits that he and the two-time Champions League winner have had little communication of late, he still has the utmost respect for Mourinho. He said: "Although we've grown apart, I think we are unified by professional respect."
