The Portuguese laments that his Chelsea team have struggled to make progress this season.
“I did not want to be allowed a transitional period”, said Villas-Boas.
“At this level you should not be allowed a transitional year, but the project for next year is good and is being built and we believe a lot in it.
“We will be able to compete at a different level.
“We have a lot of faith going towards next year.”
