Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas is to be investigated over remarks made about referee Chris Foy after Sunday’s 1-0 defeat by QPR.

The 34-year-old admitted he was “very aggressive” with Foy after accosting him following the defeat.

Villas-Boas claimed Foy failed to treat both sides equally, with the referee sending off Chelsea duo Jose Bosingwa and Didier Drogba.

“He (Foy) lost it.. he was card happy towards the (Chelsea) team,” he said about a defeat that saw Chelsea lose ground on leaders Manchester City after their 6-1 humbling of city rivals United.

It is understood that the FA are aware of the former Porto manager’s comments and will decide whether or not to charge him with improper conduct by tomorrow afternoon.

Should he be charged and found guilty, Villas-Boas could be fined or even suspended.
