Chelsea vs. Manchester City: Villas-Boas Will Be Back in Crosshairs After Loss

Andres Villa-Boas is going to find himself back in the hot seat he just vacated after his team loses to Manchester City on Tuesday. 

This will be just the latest development for AVB in a wild year in his first campaign as Chelsea boss.

Coming Under Fire

Under the weight of high expectations in Chelsea, Andre Villas Boas has floundered. This culminated when Chelsea lost three of four matches from November 20th to November 29th.

Public pressure on AVB was mounting, and he appeared to be cracking. He lashed out at players, media and announcers. Fans were questioning his future with his team.

Bouncing Back

Chelsea has won their last two games by a combined score of 6-0. Calls for AVB's job have died down. He has also received backing from those inside the organization.

His players are not questioning his future.

That sentiment came after Villas-Boas received some backing from his owner.

Losing His Way Back To the Hot Seat

In this business, you are only as good as your last game.

And to that end, things are not looking good for Chelsea. The Blues have looked good in their last two games, but they're taking on Manchester City, who have been great all season.

Chelsea doesn't have the firepower to handle Man City. They will lose this game, and they will be out of  title contention.

This is going to throw all the pressure right back on AVB's shoulders. Owners and players can say whatever they want to back him, but words like that will always ring hollow. Coaches often receive organizational backing right before being fired.

And as far as fans are concerned, every coach is one bad loss away from being fired.
