Tottenham Hotspur have appointed former Chelsea and FC Porto boss Andre Villas-Boas as their new manager.
Villas-Boas, who was sacked by Chelsea in March after less than a
season at Stamford Bridge, replaces
Harry Redknapp, who was dismissed by
Tottenham in June.
"The club is delighted to announce Andre Villas-Boas as head coach," Tottenham said on their official twitter feed.
Spurs
also considered former France coach Laurent Blanc and Schalke 04 boss
Ralf Rangnick, while Everton manager David Moyes had been a serious
contender before chairman Daniel Levy cooled his interest.
Villas-Boas,
34, will be charged with creating a young Spurs side that can challenge
for a place in the top four of the Premier League and qualification for
the Champions League.
The Portuguese was hugely successful at
Porto prior to his move to Chelsea, winning the Primeira Liga,
Portuguese Cup and the Europa League in his one season in charge at
Estadio do Dragao.
