AVB: sackings at Chelsea like everyday event Andre Villas-Boas painted a vivid picture of the brutal reality of life as Chelsea manager by claiming that sackings represent "just another day at the office" at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are looking for their eighth permanent manager of the Roman Abramovich era after dismissing Roberto Di Matteo, who was Villas-Boas's assistant and had succeeded him in March. Villas-Boas's reign at Chelsea lasted nine months. As he prepared for tonight's Europa League tie against Lazio, the Tottenham manager could not resist a swipe at his former club. "I'm aware of the position I occupied in that club and each club is responsible for its own actions," said Villas-Boas. At Chelsea, a sacking is just like another day at the office. Most of the managers who left that club have moved on to other positions. Now, all of us are in different situations with different clubs, moving on with our careers. I have a relationship with Robbie and when it is appropriate, we will have a conversation but I'm not in a position to offer any advice. It's difficult for him. He achieved so much in such a short space of time and his CV is one of the best in the world now, because he won the FA Cup and the Champions League while he was in charge. Abramovich has owned the club for nine years and has sacked seven managers. "It's their decision and it's what they believe will take them forward," Villas-Boas added.
