Tottenham sack women’s team boss Robert Vilahamn a month after side finish second from bottom in WSL
TOTTENHAM have dropped the axe on Robert Vilahamn’s run as manager of their Women’s Super League side.
Their parting of ways with the head coach 42, follows the team ending the 2024/25 campaign second from bottom.
Today the club confirmed their decision to end Vilahamn’s reign which comes two days after them sacking their Prem team boss Ange Postecoglu.
Their 11th-placed finish is their lowest ever in the WSL and follows a run of just five wins and five draws in 22 games and 12 losses.
It also comes one season on from Spurs reaching the Women’s FA Cup final for the first time last year where they fell to a 4-0 defeat to Man United.
In a written statement today the club said: “There have been some special moments during Robert’s tenure, including reaching the FA Cup final for the first time.
“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.
“We should like to thank Robert for his professionalism and efforts over the past two seasons, and we wish him well for the future.”
Vilahamn’s two-season Tottenham stint follows his three years at Swedish club BK Hacken where he worked as an assistant and then manager of their women’s team.
During his time as Hacken head coach he steered them to two Swedish Cup finals and Champions League qualification in 2023.
The Sweden-born manager, who took charge of Tottenham in July that year, enjoyed a promising start in first season at their helm.
He guided Spurs to sixth-place in addition to the 2024 FA Cup final.
He also steered them to their first ever defeat of Arsenal in the WSL with a 1-0 win against the Gunners at Tottenham Stadium in December 2023.
Vilahamn’s departure follows some significant senior level changes at the club.
Aside from the head coach’s exit and Postecoglu’s departure, Spurs executive director Donna-Maria Culllen stood down from her role on June 2.
