‘Privileged’ Villas-Boas looks to the future

Andre Villas-Boas is “privileged” to become Tottenham head coach and foresees a bright future for the north Londoners.

Weeks of speculation were ended yesterday when the Portuguese man was named as successor to Harry Redknapp, who left last month.

Villas-Boas has penned a deal until 2015 with Spurs, where he will be hoping to make a bigger and better impact than he did during his ill-fated spell with Chelsea.
