Ending the Title Drought

[StephenMUFC]

Tottenham Hotspur have named there new manager as Stephen Holland. Holland had previously managed Paris Saint Germain, but he's left the Ligue 1 Outfit for Premiership side Tottenham Hotspur. He has been the manager of Paris Saint Germain for sometime, but he felt he wanted to manager at a higher level and he had been given the opportunity to manage at Tottenham. Guus Hiddink has been given the Paris Saint Germain job following the departure of Holland, who is now looking forward to the task of Tottenham.​

He is blessed to takeover an Tottenham side, that is not only at a higher level than Paris Saint Germain but have far more quality then his former employers. For a start the club is very safe finacel state, Tottenhan have a 36,310 seater stadium whilst also currently being well clear of financial difficulties. They also have numerous star players, although it is yet to be seen what the new manager is going to do to the club, how he will play and what type of players he's going to keep at the club and those he's going to let go.

The key player in the Tottenham side seems to be Luka Modric. Modric seems to have plenty of experience, despite only being 25. At a young age he got himself a run in the Dinamo side as he was the part of the side that earned them the Championship. At Dinamo he went out on loan to Zrinjski and Inter as he picked up some first team experience before coming nack on a permanant basis. He then arrived at Tottenham and is a key Player at the club. He looks set to try and help the club win the title.

Rafeal Van Der Vaart is another key player at the club, but with a lot more experience then Modric. Van Der Vaart has some Big team experience as he broke through the ranks at Real Madrid. He went onto to play in the Real Madrid set up for three years. Van Der Vaart also had experience at Ajax and Hamburger HSV playing around 200 games for them. Van Der Vaart has also picked up the dutch player of the year. He has played 90 Games for Holland.



Tottenham have plenty of quality throughout there squad though with he likes of Gareth Bale, Aaron Lennon and Raneiri Sandro although they are most likely to play a big part this season. Younes Kaboul, Herlauno Gomes,Carlo Cudinci,Steven Pienaar and Ben Alwnick will most likely to get sold as Holland said there not in his plans and Tottenham. Holland will be looking to try and get his transfer policy sorted though as he takes on he helms in charge of the club and he will be wanting to bring in some signings.​
