The Portuguese boss,33, was quick to shrug off his tag as the 'mini-Mourinho' at his unveiling this morning.
"Maybe I should be called the Group One. I want to group people together."
But Villas-Boas, who was an assistant at Stamford Bridge during that era, insisted: "It's not just a case of winning, it's a case of flair.
"Everyone likes attacking football and the Premier League has a certain amount of goals in every game.
"It should be an entertaining game for the fans and that is what we will look to do."
"There's no doubt about it there is a compromise with a certain amount of trophies.
"But everyone wants to thrive to be the best and win something, be successful and I know I'm at a club that's wants to be successful every year.
"As I said in my first interview, I'm more than happy with the actual squad.
"I think bearing in mind the changes that have been made at the club in the last six or seven years, we have to make some big decisions.
"I'm counting on everybody from last year to make the best decisions.
"We have plenty of time to judge the market and see what is value for the team in the end.
"There is no fuss in the changes that we are going to make.
"They are top quality players and I want them back as soon as possible to get started as soon as possible."
He is 36 years younger than the Scot — but Villas-Boas does not see that as a big issue.
Villas-Boas also expects his new players to show him respect, despite some of the senior members of the squad being older than him.
The Portuguese added: "It's normal for people to judge my age because it all happened at a very young age for me.
"I started my career at 18. It's something I take normally. I think players are professional enough to respect the manager."
