Exciting New Era at Tottenham Women: Renowned Coach Robert Vilahamn Takes Over Helm, Setting High Hopes for the Future!

Tottenham Women have hired Robert Vilahamn as their new head coach on a two-year contract. The 40-year-old joins from BK Hacken, a Swedish team, where he successfully led the squad to consecutive Swedish Cup finals and secured a spot in the Champions League in his first season.

Vilahamn expressed his delight at joining Spurs' prestigious football club, acknowledging the honor that comes with it. He is genuinely driven by both the challenge and the opportunity that accompany his new role. Vilahamn is eager to lead the team in this thrilling project, which boasts a talented group of players.

Andy Rogers, the managing director of Spurs Women, expressed his enthusiasm in welcoming Robert to the club for the upcoming season. Robert, known for his ambition, dynamism, and successful coaching career, has a proven track record of developing players to international standards. His ability to compete in domestic tournaments and the Champions League aligns perfectly with our ambitions and philosophy.

Vilahamn has been appointed to replace Rehanne Skinner, who was dismissed in March following eight consecutive losses. The new coach aims to enhance Spurs' performance after their ninth-place finish last season, which marked their lowest standing since their promotion in 2019.

Vilahamn's journey in the world of football began with his playing career at IFK Goteborg and representing Sweden U19s. He transitioned into coaching, starting at Ytterby IS in his native country, where he guided the team to back-to-back promotions. Impressed by his success, Vilahamn was later recruited as the U19s manager of Orgryte IS.

Continuing his promising coaching career, Vilahamn made a move to Qviding, where he once again showcased his talent by leading the team to successive promotions. This accomplishment caught the attention of BK Hacken, who offered him the role of assistant manager for their men's team. In a further career progression, Vilahamn assumed the position of head coach for the women's team in 2022.

Spurs say their new boss' coaching staff will be appointed in "due course".
