Sherwood gets chance to earn his Spurs
Print Edition
Tottenham Hotspur has given the inexperienced Tim Sherwood the chance to stamp his mark on the ambitious London club by naming him on Monday as head coach until the end of next season.
The English Premier League club has promoted its former midfielder from his role as youth development manager to replace Andre Villas-Boas exactly a week after the Portuguese coach was sacked following a humiliating 0-5 home loss to Liverpool.
“We were extremely reluctant to make a change mid-season, but felt we had to do so in the club’s best interests,” Chairman Daniel Levy said on the club website.
“We have a great squad and we owe them a head coach who will bring out the best in them and allow them to flourish and enjoy a strong, exciting finish to the season.
“We are in the fortunate position of having within our club a talented coach in Tim Sherwood. We believe Tim has both the knowledge and the drive to take the squad forward.”
A technically highly-rated coach, the 44-year-old Sherwood won the Premier League as captain of Blackburn Rovers in 1995 before joining Spurs four years later and staying until 2003 before returning five years later to join the coaching staff.
He takes over a team on which Tottenham have spent more than the 100 million euros (US$137.07 million) it received from Real Madrid for Gareth Bale on internationals like Roberto Soldado, Paulinho, Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen.
