The 33 year old was mentioned as a target when Hodgson was still manager
Liverpool FC have NOT signed an agreement with Andre Villas Boas to become the next permanent Liverpool manager.
The Italian newspaper Gazetto dello Sport reported that the 33 year old FC Porto manager had signed a pre-contract with Liverpool. They suggested this was the reason for rejecting a move to take over AS Roma.
We have been told that the story in the Italian newspaper is completely untrue.
