Yesterday’s football news was largely about Andre Villas-Boas and Tottenham. The former Porto and Chelsea manager was expected to be unveiled as new Tottenham manager later this week, but it seems like the club will announce his appointment earlier,
with many expecting an announcement later today.
The Portuguese manager flew into London earlier today and is set to sign a three-year contract with Spurs. Just four months after being released by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, Villas-Boas will take upon a new challenge and aim to prove his critics wrong. Many have been critical
of Tottenham’s decision to appoint Villas-Boas as head coach, but club chairman http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Levy has displayed a public vote of confidence in the Portuguese manager and remains convinced that he has learned from his failure at Chelsea.
This will come as good news to Spurs fans, who also wait on Tottenham to announce the confirmation of an £8 million deal with Hoffenheim for attacking midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jan-Vertonghen-c17814 is also another player who is expected to move to White Hart
Lane, having publicly stated his desire to play for the North London side. A deal for the Belgian centre half should be agreed once he has sorted out the issues with Ajax regarding the percentage of the £ 9.5 million transfer fee he is due.
Spurs have also been linked with exciting Brazilian midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Internacional-c39573 has already managed five full international caps for his country and has attracted the interest of Europe’s elite clubs. Spurs will face considerable
competition in the race to sign Oscar.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. Spurs look set to challenge for a top-four finish next season, and possibly the Premier League title also.
Villas-Boas however faces the challenge of convincing star midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 to extend his stay at White Hart Lane. The Croatian midfielder has been the subject of much transfer speculation, linking him with a move away to Manchester United and Real
Madrid.
It looks like Andre Villas-Boas won’t be going for a radical overhaul of the squad, but will instead add more depth to it and gradually reduce the average age of the team. Villas-Boas tried doing the same at Chelsea, but failed miserably and was sacked after
just 8 months. Only time will tell if he’ll be successful with his plan this time around with a new club.
