Former Porto, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas recently resigned as Shanghai SIPG manager. The Portuguese manager is gearing up to compete in the Dakar Rally in 2018.

The Dakar Rally is an annual rally organised and founded in 1978 with participants beginning the course at Paris, France and ending in Dakar, Senegal. However, due to consistent security threats, the race has been shifted to South America since 2008.

The Portuguese manager Villas-Boas has decided to enter the race as he teams up with fellow Portuguese Ruben Faria as his co-driver. The circuit begins in Lima Peru, following which the teams will drive through La Paz, Bolivia and end at Cordoba in Argentina.
