The 43-year-old has entered his home stage of the World Rally Championship in Portgual
Former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas will make his World Rally Championship debut this month when he lines up at the Rally de Portugal later this month.
The Portuguese is an avid motorsports fan and competed in the Dakar Rally in Peru in 2018, but was forced to withdraw after sustaining a back injury following a crash.
Villas Boas was sacked by Marseille in February and falling out with the club and telling a press conference “I just want to leave”.

The event takes place from 20-23 May.
