Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has revealed he may retire from the dugout in as little as five years’ time, citing the great pressure placed on his shoulders by the job.
Villas-Boas is only 35 years old, but has already bossed Academica, FC Porto and Chelsea, prior to taking over at White Hart Lane last summer.
The Portuguese tactician became the youngest coach to ever lead a side to a European trophy when he guided Porto to the Europa League in 2011 at the age of just 33.
However, he is not planning a long stint in the dugout.

"I live with enormous intensity for eleven months of the year and I am very dedicated, but there is also room for other things in life", he explained to Portuguese daily O Jogo.
"For me there is a limit and within the next five to ten years I will stop as a coach.
"At that time I want to be proud of my career. I try to play good football with the team I coach.
"I do not know where my coaching career will take me. All I know is that it will not last that long."
