The Portuguese is an avid motorsports fan and competed in the Dakar Rally in Peru in 2018, but was forced to withdraw after sustaining a back injury following a crash.
Villas Boas was sacked by Marseille in February and falling out with the club and telling a press conference “I just want to leave”.
He will compete in the WRC3 event, the third tier of World Rally Championship races, in a Citroen C3 alongside co-driver Goncalo Magalhaes.
The event takes place from 20-23 May.
