Villas-Boas announced in Germany ... and Turkey
Having left the Olympique de Marseille unceremoniously last February, André Villas-Boas retains a good rating in the coaching market.
According to the German daily
Bild
, the Portuguese (43) is on the short-list of leaders in Wolfsburg.
Oliver Glasner fulfilled his mission on the Wolves bench perfectly with a 3rd place in the Bundesliga, but his electric relationship with his leaders would push him out.
The Swiss coach Gerardo Seoane (42), whose Young Boys Bern are flying over their championship, would be neck and neck with Villas-Boas.
Unless the coach passed through Porto, Chelsea and Tottenham goes to Turkey?
From
sporx.com
, Erol Bulut's days are numbered in Fenerbahce.
Four names have been coached by the Istanbul club to succeed him for next season.
In addition to Villas-Boas, there are Lucien Favre (free, ex Nice and Dortmund), Leonardo Jardim (free, ex Monaco) and Joachim Löw, who will bid farewell to the German selection after the Euro after 15 years of good and loyal service.

Recently, L'Équipe revealed the existence of an oral agreement between Milik and OM for next summer: if an offer of € 12 million or more from a big Italian club is made, OM l 'will accept.
Otherwise, Milik's loan will expire, until June 2022.
