Former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas will make his World Rally Championship debut in Portugal.

Villas-Boas, who dramatically departed Marseille in March, will drive a Citroen C3 in WRC3, the third tier of the championship for privateer cars.

The Portuguese manager, 43, has previous motorsport experience and crashed out of the Dakar Rally in 2018.

Villas-Boas was forced out of the Dakar Rally at the fourth stage after hurting his back on Tuesday after his car, a Toyota Hilux, went airborne off a sand dune and made a hard landing and he jolted his back.

He left his role as coach of Chinese side Shanghai SIPG in November 2017 to compete at the Dakar Rally in 2018.
