Sherwood Spurs coach

New Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood has spoken of his pride after being appointed the club’s permanent head coach. Spurs revealed that Sherwood had been awarded a contract until the end of next season, a week after Andre Villas-Boas was sacked after a 5-0 home defeat by Liverpool. Sherwood, 44, has no prior experience of first-team management, but played for Spurs for four years and has been a member of the coaching set-up since 2008.
