Driving is very adrenaline-fuelled and it makes me feel good . We all have our passions and respond in different ways . 'It has been a lifelong passion . My first bike was a 350cc heavy engine . I took my licence and drove it in a national competition in Portugal – then I broke my arm so I was out . ' I was coaching Porto youth at the time . The first bike was a Yamaha XT 350 , then I had Hondas then a couple of KTMs . I have a couple of them now . ' Villas-Boas also hopes to one day take part in the Dakar Rally which is now held in South America . ' I have a couple of bikes from the Dakar Rally that I own , ' he added . 'One is for my collection , the other I ride it . I am a bit of a `` crazy head '' so I have enduro-bikes as well . I go into mountains with the big rocks and almost kill myself . I have a couple of trials bikes and cars with different owners , because we have an extension collection and split ownership of them .

' I got it completely wrong and I apologise for my behaviour . I was angry with the Torino team manager , but it was not the behaviour of a coach and I am sorry . '
