ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS says he has to lead Chelsea to the QUADRUPLE to keep owner Roman Abramovich happy.
The new Blues boss won four trophies with Porto last season.
And he declared: "I am confident I can respond to Chelsea's expectations and we can focus on the four trophies that we have to win.
"I am pretty much confident that people will like it.
"This is a new leadership, a new way of being, but I think in the end it all ends up in the motivation everyone must feel to continue to win for the club."
Villas-Boas, 33, has signed a three-year deal at Stamford Bridge.
But he knows failure to win the Champions League normally results in the bullet for whoever is in the Chelsea hotseat.
Carlo Ancelotti was the latest to be given the push by Red Rom when he was dumped last month - just a year after winning the Double.
Villas-Boas has admitted in the past it will take luck to win Europe's top prize though, saying: "I can understand that Chelsea are obsessed with the Champions League.
"But Champions Leagues are not won by the best clubs, they are won by clubs that are lucky."
Villas-Boas won the Europa League, the Portuguese League, Cup and Super Cup last season.
But he was still stunned when Chelsea prised him away from Porto - paying a world-record release clause of £13.25million.
He added: "It was a little bit frantic, there's no doubt. It was something that happened like a bombshell.
"The most important thing is to be here and try to project a great future for the club.
"This club in the last six or seven years has changed dramatically to become one of the most successful clubs in the world.
"We must get training and keep that kind of focus."
