Tottenham Expected to Name Villas-Boas as New Manager Within 24 Hours

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to announce Andre Villas-Boas as their new manager after a number of discussions with the former Chelsea boss in the last few days. 

 

Sky Sports believes that Villas-Boas could be announced as the successor to Harry Redknapp within the next 24 hours as Spurs look to push forward now that the transfer window is open. 

 

Villas-Boas has always been the bookmakers favourite and it seems as though he will have the opportunity to return to management in England after a disappointing spell at Chelsea. 

 

The Portuguese manager was sacked by Chelsea in March, but did arrive in England with a big reputation having led Porto to a treble of league title, Portuguese Cup and Europe League triumph. 

 

It appears likely that an announcement will be made on Tuesday as chairman Daniel Levy looks to get a manager in place in time for pre-season training. 

 

Tottenham have also been linked with Laurent Blanc, who left his role as France manager, but it seems as though Villas-Boas will be the man in charge at White Hart Lane next season.
