Villas-Boas on the brink at SIPG

Andre Villas-Boas' future as manager of Shanghai SIPG looks increasingly uncertain after the big-spending club wrapped up its season without a single trophy on the weekend.

The former Tottenham and Chelsea boss refused to say if he would remain at the SIPG helm following Sunday's CFA Cup final failure against city rival Shenhua.

After SIPG finished runnerup in the league during a season frequently punctuated by Villas-Boas' brushes with controversy, the 40-year-old's days at the club look numbered.
