Chelsea former boss became Tottenham's new manager

Tottenham have appointed former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas as the club's new manager. AVB succeeds Harry Redknapp, who was sacked by Spurs last month.

The 34 year old returns to coaching less than four months after leaving Chelsea and has signed a three year contract with the Northern London club.

Villas-Boas is back to coaching after 4 months out of job

He has arrived in London on Monday to finalize the deal and will begin to work almost right away in preparation ahead of 2012-13 English Premier League. The former Porto coach will be given the task of getting Tottenham back into Champions League. They narrowly missed out on the qualification as a result of Chelsea's winning the title. Spurs' first match will be on Newscastle's home ground on August 18th.

Villas-Boas will come up against his former club on October 20th at White Hart Lane, and the Portuguese will return to Stanford Bridge on April 13th.
