AVB takes over at Spurs
The former Chelsea and Porto manager will try and make sure that he brings Champions League football back to White Hart Lane.
Last season Spurs finished fourth but are not in the Champions League because Chelsea won the competition and finished outside the top four and so they took Spurs place.
