Tottenham looking to emulate what Manchester United did right with latest appointment

Tottenham Hotspur Women have appointed Martin Ho as their new head coach on a three-year contract.

The 35-year-old has been making a name for himself in recent seasons with his work in Norway, guiding SK Brann in his first season into the group stages of the Women's Champions League, the first Norwegian side in history to do so, as they won all four of their qualifiers.

They then finished second in a group consisting of eight-time winners Lyon, Slavia Praha and St Polten, before bowing out to three-time winners and eventual champions Barcelona in the quarter-final, losing 5-2 on aggregate.

Ho, born in Liverpool, then took Brann took a second-place league finish in Norway while reaching the semi-final of the domestic cup and the Bergen-based club are currently one point behind leaders Valerenga after 14 matches of the current season.

The new Tottenham boss has plenty of Women's Super League experience, having been an assistant coach with Manchester United for three years as they reached the FA Cup final in 2023 and finished second in the league, and he was a key member of the staff during their most successful league season since getting promoted in 2019. Before that he spent three years with Everton Women and had a spell as the head coach of Liverpool Women's U21s.

Now Ho is hoping to take Spurs on in their seventh season in the Women's Super League and build on Robert Vilahamn's FA Cup final appearance with the club before a poor league campaign last time out.

He already has a new signing in the bag for his squad after the club announced this week the signing of Toko Koga from Feyenoord, subject to international clearance and work permit. The 19-year-old Japan international has agreed a deal with Spurs that will run until June 2029, and she will wear the number 32 shirt.
