derbydan Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Andre-Villas Boas has been confirmed as Tottenham's new head coach. His appointment marks a return to the Premier League just 16 weeks after his departure from Chelsea, where he was sacked eight months into a three-year contract.

CumbrianRam Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Probably do well away from Terry, Lamaprd, Cole etc. The Spurs style of play is more suited to his syle of managment than Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
