24 hours after sacking Martin Jol and Ramos resigning from Sevilla FC the Tottenham board announced that indeed Juande Ramos is the next boss at White Hart Lane.Ramos, who left the UEFA Cup champions on Friday clearing his way for a move to north London, has signed a four-year deal with Spurs, the club announced.

His first game in charge will be against Blackpool in the Carling Cup on Wednesday, with development coach Clive Allen and youth team boss Alex Inglethorpe in charge for SUnday’s Premier League clash against Blackburn.

“I greatly appreciate the opportunity to work as head coach at Tottenham Hotspur, a club with a great tradition and history,” Ramos said.

“Ever since I started my coaching career I have wanted to work in England. It is my sincere hope that I can repay the faith the Spurs Board has shown in me.”

“I am looking forward to meeting the players; it is a squad any coach would be excited to work with . I genuinely believe that there is the potential to achieve great things together.”

“I was hugely impressed with the Spurs fans both home and away when Sevilla played Spurs last season and it will be a privilege to be the coach of this club with the huge support it enjoys both at White Hart Lane and throughout the world.”.

The news now is that Ramos is hoping to reel in Kanoute and Alves to the London club, and it’s not impossible as Spurs do have the financial muscle to make a bid for the duo.
