Tottenham Hotspur has announced the appointment of Robert Vilahamn as the new head coach for their women's team.

Vilahamn, who has signed a two-year contract subject to a work permit, brings with him a wealth of experience from his time in Swedish football.

Commenting on the appointment, Managing Director Andy Rogers said, “Robert is an ambitious, dynamic and successful coach, and we are excited to welcome him to the club ahead of the upcoming season."

"He has a track record of developing players to international level and competing for both domestic trophies and in the Champions League, demonstrating his ability to match our own ambitions and philosophy.”

Vilahamn's career in football started on the pitch, where he represented IFK Göteborg and Sweden Under-19 as a player. He transitioned to coaching in 2008 at Ytterby IS, where he promptly led the team to back-to-back promotions.
