Sherwood 'proud and honoured' to be named Tottenham head coach

Tim Sherwood says he is proud and honoured to be the new head coach of Tottenham, and hopes his knowledge of the club will help steer the team through their current sticky patch.
The north London club announced the surprise decision to appoint Sherwood as Andre Villas-Boas’ successor on Monday - the former midfielder selected ahead the likes of Louis Van Gaal, Fabio Capello and Frank De Boer, who had all been linked with the position.
The 44-year-old has no previous senior management experience, but spent four years as a Spurs player and returned to the club in 2008 as a youth team coach.

And Sherwood believes his connection with the side could be positive for the team’s future.
"It's an honour to be head coach of this top club,” he told Spurs TV.
"It's a club that means an awful lot to me and a proud moment.
"If you cut me in half, I bleed the colour of the club. It means an awful lot to me. Blood is thicker than water, as they say.
"I've known it from the grass roots right up to the first team, worked at every level of the football club and played here, so I know it better than most.
"Hopefully that will stand me in good stead taking this club forward as head coach.
"We have good players here and if we apply ourselves well, get the players playing as they can and get the right players on the ball in the correct areas, then we can hurt any team we play against.
