Since Andre Villas-Boas was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur, many believe that he has no future in English football at least in the short-term.

The Portuguese manager will likely attempt to resurrect his career elsewhere and this week he has been linked with Zenit St Petersburg.

The wealthy Russian club sacked manager Luciano Spalletti yesterday and Sky Italia claim that they have offered AVB a four-year contract with a view to taking the vacant position.

AVB may be tempted by the presence of his former FC Porto striker Hulk within the squad, while Portuguese playmaker Danny is also a squad member.
