Portuguese football coach Andre Villas-Boas has been forced out the Dakar Rally after hurting his back on Tuesday's fourth stage, his team Toyota Overdrive said.
The former Chelsea and Tottenham coach jolted his back after his car went airbone off a sand dune and made a hard landing, Toyota said in a statement.
"Medical examinations show no broken bones," but Villas-Boas is in pain and he and his co-pilot Ruben Faria are out of the 9,000-kilometer rally, the team added.
Villas-Boas, 40, taking part in his first ever rally, had made a difficult debut in the sports most demanding race, and was 2hr 18min 50sec behind the leader after the third stage.
