Andre Villas-Boas nears Roma job

Former Chelsea and Porto manager Andre Villas-Boas is reportedly close to becoming the new coach of Italian side Roma, Sports Mole reported.

The Serie A outfit are believed to be seeking a new boss after Luis Enrique informed them that he would be leaving the Stadio Olimpico at the end of the season.

Meetings between Roma's general manager Franco Baldini and Villas-Boas have taken place in London, with an agreement on terms nearing a conclusion, according to Goal.com.

Villas-Boas has been out of work since being sacked by Chelsea in March of this year.
