Villas-Boas confirmed as Spurs boss

Andre-Villas Boas has been confirmed as Tottenham's new head coach.

The 34-year-old's appointment marks his return to the Barclays Premier League just four months after his departure from Chelsea, where he was sacked eight months into a three-year contract. Villas-Boas will be hoping to rebuild his reputation at Spurs after succeeding Harry Redknapp, who left the post last month after four years at the helm.

A post on the club's official Twitter account read: "The club is delighted to announce Andre Villas-Boas as head coach."
