The former Spurs boss caused a stir when he told the Daily Mail: “These days you’re getting 70-page dossiers on this and that. B******t can baffle brains at times.”

The 34-year-old compiles detailed reports on the opposition and suggested that Redknapp could have been talking about Jose Mourinho.

“In the end it’s not about the manager, it’s about the players. They bring you success,” Villas-Boas said.

“Different kinds of managers have different leadership styles and the way they go about his business.

“I’m not sure if Harry was mentioning that about Jose but if he is it’s very strange.”
