The Club is delighted to announce that Andre Villas-Boas has joined as our new Head Coach on a 3 year contract.

Andre was previously at Porto and led them to an undefeated season in the league, winning four trophies and becoming the youngest manager ever to win a European title in the process, before joining Chelsea and extending his run to 39 games undefeated.

Commenting on the appointment, Chairman, Daniel Levy said: “I am delighted that Andre has agreed to become our new Head Coach. He has an outstanding reputation for his technical knowledge of the game and for creating well-organised teams capable of playing football in an attractive and attacking style. Andre shares our long-term ambitions and ethos of developing players and nurturing young talent, and he will be able to do so now at a new world class Training Centre.”

Speaking as the new Head Coach, Andre Villas-Boas said, “Tottenham Hotspur is a great club with a strong tradition and fantastic support, both at home and throughout the world. I feel privileged to be its coach. For me, this is one of the most exciting coaching positions in the Premier League. I have had several discussions with the Chairman and the Board and I share their vision for the future progress of the Club. This is a squad any coach would love to work with and together I believe we can bring success in the seasons ahead."

Andre brings with him two members of his coaching staff - First Team fitness coach Jose Mario Rocha and Daniel Sousa, head of opposition scouting.

Daniel Levy continued: "We are constantly looking to move the Club forward. It is important that we now look to develop the potential within the squads at all levels, whilst strengthening the First Team in the summer in key positions with players who will become part of the future success of the Club.”



Sexy Villas-Boas thanks you for your time.


I'm excited and a bit scared! This is a huge gamble for him and the club and I hope it pays off. Now give me some signings!

that gif! made my day :D

and i'm not at all surprised that this was going to happen. i think he will work better at spurs because he hasn't got as much pressure on him than he did at Chelsea!

I keep hearing that he wants to poach Sturridge.

yeah i know, me too. i mean, there's a couple players
mainly studge, oriol maybe and idk about mrlsh

Out of those, i can only see Meireles going. His main reason for joining Chelsea was to work with AVB.

That's odd, considering AVB gave him the most minutes and starts of any Chelsea manager. It wouldn't surprise me though. I've heard that very few Chelsea players got along with Andre.

Didn't Sturridge not like him? I know someone on the ~inside who said a lot of people hated him for his lack of exercise science or something

From: [identity profile] candyrushh.livejournal.com
I didnt know that, but definately loads didnt like him.
his biggest supporters were mata, david luiz and maybe oriol.
everyone else...fair game.

Yeah I know a looooooot of players disliked him and he ended up getting rid of a lot of exercise science in which people at Chelsea didn't like either. He didn't get sacked simply for being in 6th. I hate Chelsea so I like to think it was their fault but after I was told what went down, I guess it wasn't really

From: [identity profile] carminaburana.livejournal.com
The main reason from what i've heard is that he maintained a big distance between himself and the players and refused to meet with them individually and would act vindictively if they complained. The shabby way he treated Anelka and Alex when they handed in transfer requests was another.

From: [identity profile] carminaburana.livejournal.com
I honestly don't know. I figured they were on better terms than some of the other Chelsea players b/c Andre moved Danny into a regular starter role and relied on him a great deal more than other Chelsea managers.

Aw, AVB the crouching tiger. Even though you didn't gel at Chelsea (and well, went down in flames), i still love you. I want to wish you well at Spurs, but only as long as you finish behind my club. LOL.

I hope this happens. Best scenario. Get to see his pretty face again but then watch him flop again. Hopefully......even though I like him
