Villas-Boas was sacked earlier this month after less than nine months in charge at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues out of the title race and scrapping for a fourth place finish.
”I’m really sad, as André was a really capable professional,” the Brazil international told the Sun. ”Unfortunately, he didn’t have the time to show his true value at Chelsea.
”He didn’t have the chance. You cannot doubt a professional like him, who won five titles last season and was feted by everyone. But he didn’t have enough time at Chelsea.”
