Former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas claims that he will run the club in a democratic manner, insisting that he is not a dictator.
The 33-year-old was appointed as the successor to Italian Carlo Ancelotti, who was sacked after a trophyless season at Stamford Bridge. In contrast, the young Portuguese manager created history by becoming the youngest ever tactician to win a European trophy - adding the Europa League to a domestic double last season.
Discussing his managerial style, Villas-Boas told The Mirror: "I’m no dictator.
"I encourage freedom of choice in football. Players can only achieve their true potential if they are not shackled and are able to stand on their own two feet.
"Creativity in my players is important. I love the unpredictable part of the game.
"I strongly believe that players have to express themselves to their full potential, they must be able to make choices during the game."
Villas-Boas also admitted that he has landed his dream job, and hopes to fulfil his managerial potential in the role.
"I want success. I have expectations and want to look back on a career I can be proud of," he said. "I want to win championships, I want to explore other leagues and embrace different social and cultural behaviour.
"This job is all I ever wanted. I accept people may view it as a gamble employing someone so young, but if I didn’t believe I could succeed what is the point?"
Villas-Boas was the seventh manager in Roman Abramovich's eight-year reign as Chelsea owner, succeeding Claudio Ranieri, Jose Mourinho, Avram Grant, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Guus Hiddink and Ancelotti.
