Tottenham head coach Andre Villas-Boas is determined to end Spurs’ four year trophy drought.

The north Londoners won the League Cup in 2008 and the Portuguse manager is targeting a title challenge.

“It is not a mission of restoring my reputation, it’s a mission to put Tottenham back on track with titles. Since 2008, we haven’t won anything,” he said.

“It is right we take the club forward, mixing it with titles and with success. Hopefully I can bring them to this football club.

“It is a massive opportunity for me and I am extremely pleased to be given that opportunity.

“I am pleased to come to a club with such high ambitions for the future and I hope to repay the trust of the chairman with success.”
