It’s all over. Weeks of speculation has ended with Andre Villas-Boas landing the manager’s job at Tottenham Hotspur, replacing Harry Redknapp.

He’s signed a deal to 2015 with Spurs, and he’s hoping to make a greater impact than he did at Chelsea.

The 34-year-old was sacked by the Blues last season just eight months into a three-year contract and is relishing the opportunity to rebuild his once burgeoning reputation at Tottenham.

"Tottenham Hotspur is a great club with a strong tradition and fantastic support, both at home and throughout the world," Villas-Boas told the club's official website, www.tottenhamhotspur.com.

"I feel privileged to be its coach. For me, this is one of the most exciting coaching positions in the Premier League.

"I have had several discussions with the chairman and the board and I share their vision for the future progress of the club.

"This is a squad any coach would love to work with and together I believe we can bring success in the seasons ahead."
