(Reuters) - Former
Olympique de Marseille and Chelsea coach Andre Villas-Boas has
swapped the dugout for the World Rallying Championship.
The 43-year-old will make his debut later this month in
Portugal, driving a Citroen C3 in WRC3, the third tier of the
championship for privateer cars.
The Portuguese has been out of work since early March after his
contract at Marseille was cancelled.
He had been suspended after initially offering to resign over
disagreements with the club's board.
Villas-Boas does have previous motorsport experience and crashed
out of the Dakar Rally in 2018.
Rally Portugal, the fourth round of the WRC, takes place from
20-23 May.
