Is AVB ready to return to management? Former Spurs boss spotted chatting with Guardiola at Bayern training camp



Very little has been seen of Andre Villas-Boas since he was given the boot at Tottenham last month.



But it seems he could be ready for a return to management after he was spotted shooting the breeze with Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola at the German team's winter training camp in Doha, Qatar.

AVB appeared relaxed and happy as he and Guardiola spent time presumably discussing tactics and the perils of a modern football manager.

The former Spurs and Chelsea boss also met Bayern stars Franck Ribery, Thiago Alcantara, Dante Bonfrm and Claudio Pizarro at the end of a practice session for the German giants.

But AVB wasn't the only interested spectator at Bayern training camp, with Spain and Real Madrid legend Raul Gonzalez, who also spent a couple of season at Bayern's rivals Schalke, there to cast his eye over the training session.

It was a short trip to the training camp for Raul, who now plays his football for Al Sadd in the Qatar Stars League.

He and AVB also exchanged a few words as no doubt both men took some tips from a coaching masterclass from Guardiola.

And perhaps some advice from the Bayern boss will see AVB's return to management happen sooner rather than later.
