Tottenham Women to appoint Martin Ho as new head coach

New York Times01-07-2025
Tottenham Hotspur are set to appoint Martin Ho as the new head coach of their women's team.
Ho, currently the head coach of Norwegian side SK Brann, has previously been an assistant at both Everton and Manchester United. He also spent a spell as the head coach of Liverpool's Under-21 women's team.
He will replace Robert Vilahamn, who departed the club after two years last month on the same weekend that Ange Postecoglou was sacked by the men's side.

Ho, 35, was appointed by Brann in 2023 and guided the side to the quarter-finals of the Women's Champions League before being knocked out by eventual champions Barcelona.
This season, Brann sit second in the Norwegian Toppserien, one point behind defending champions Valerenga.
Vilahamn led Spurs to a top-six Women's Super League (WSL) finish and the club's first-ever FA Cup final, which they lost to Manchester United, in the 2023-24 campaign.
The 42-year-old Swede subsequently signed a three-year contract extension through to 2027 at the north London club.
However, 2024-25 saw a downturn in results with a 10-game winless run from January seeing Spurs record an 11th-place WSL finish, just one place from the foot of the table and relegation.

Jets owner Woody Johnson completes purchase of stake in Premier League club Crystal Palace

LONDON (AP) — Crystal Palace confirmed Thursday that New York Jets owner Woody Johnson's purchase of Eagle Football's shareholding in the Premier League club has been completed. 'I am honored and privileged to be joining the ownership group of Crystal Palace Football Club,' Johnson told the club website. Palace announced last month that Johnson had signed 'a legally binding contract' to buy the shares of fellow American John Textor, who had a 43% stake in the London club, with reports at the time placing the price between $220 million and $260 million. The latest club statement gave no financial details. Johnson joins chairman Steve Parish, Josh Harris and David Blitzer as a partner and director of the club, and has also signed the Premier League's Owners' Charter. 'It is an organization with a proud history, tradition, and deep roots in English football in South London, which I came to admire during my time as US Ambassador to the United Kingdom," Johnson said. Palace finished 12th last season in the 20-team Premier League. Competition dispute Johnson's arrival at Palace comes with the club in dispute with UEFA over which European competition it will play in next season after winning the FA Cup in May — its first major trophy in 120 years of existence. Palace was demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League after falling foul of UEFA's rules governing multi-club ownership, but has submitted an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. UEFA determined that as of March 1, Textor had control or influence in Palace and French club Lyon.
