Spurs sack Vilahamn after poor WSL campaign
Tottenham have sacked head coach Robert Vilahamn after two years in charge.The Swede led Spurs to their first Women's FA Cup final in May 2024 but his side finished second-bottom in this season's Women's Super League.Relegated Crystal Palace were the only side to concede more goals than Tottenham and the club's points tally of 20 was 11 fewer than they recorded in the 2023-24 campaign."There have been some special moments during Robert's tenure," said women's managing director Andy Rogers."However, results and performances this season have not been to the level we would expect and now is the right time to make a change."
Vilahamn follows senior assistant coach Vicky Jepson, who had already left Spurs to take up a role with the United States women's youth teams.His departure comes two days after Tottenham's men's side sacked head coach Ange Postecoglou, despite winning the Europa League last month.

RAP legend Snoop Dogg wants to bring the sizzle dizzle to Celtic Park. The West Coast icon is keen to teach the Scots a thing or two about greasy American sports cuisine. 2 2 Snoop is a Celtic fan and has previously hinted at investing in the Glasgow giants. And after bringing out his own cookbook, the rapper wants to offer punters more than just Gin and Juice. Snoop has big plans for the Next Episode of his remarkable career. The 53-year-old wants to open his own burger van outside Parkhead on matchdays. Snoop claims he will use his signature "secret spices" as he rustles up gourmet patties for hungry supporters.

Ange to Scotland clamour triggers oddsmakers as Celtic hero's theory about international management rings loud
The 59-year-old is a prized free agent as bookies react to what is coming next after leaving Spurs Oddsmakers have made managing the Scotland national team the third most likely destination for Ange Postecoglou after leaving Tottenham. Spurs fans, punters and pundits alike let out a collective gasp after the 59-year-old won the Europa League but paid with his job despite ending their 18-year wait for silverware. But many others obsessed with the beautiful game are still mad for Ange and his exit came hours before Steve Clarke enraged a nation with the under-fire Scotland boss taking pelters for a horror 3-1 defeat to Iceland at Hampden. That led to punters imagining Ange donning a 'See you, Jimmy' bunnet in the near future as an option to lead a national team in the midst of a confidence crisis despite boasting the best playing pool in a generation. And AceOdds reckon Scotland is a likely option for a manager who thrilled Celtic fans during his trophy-laden two years in Glasgow. AEK Athens 3/1 Australia 5/1 Scotland 6/1 Leicester 8/1 Ipswich, Celtic 10/1 Any Saudi Pro League Club 12/1 Man United 16/1 Leeds 25/1 West Ham 28/1 Rangers 33/1 England 50/1 And while Postecoglou has been cautious about a return to international management, his answer to the differences experienced by himself at Australia to a foreign national team boss in the wake of Thomas Tuchel's appointment rings loud. He said: "It's not like sometimes with the foreigners that they can do the job and it's not going great, they can go back and live where they live and they don't have to deal with it on a day-to-day basis. "There is a greater weight of responsibility when it is your own national team and I really believe that, in particular the England national team. "It is something that the people who make these appointments are wary of, it's not just about coaching and it's how you deal with all these other things that are attached to the England national team job. Sometimes the foreign coaches don't have to deal with it as much as an English manager would."
