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. 

THREE everyday habits could be destroying your motor’s interior, according to experts.

Most drivers think they’re taking good care of their cars, but one luxury valet cleaner says three everyday habits could be doing serious damage without you realising.

These three everyday habits could be doing serious damage to your motor’s interior[/caption]

Tommy Reece, based in London, has cleaned everything from top-spec Range Rovers to six-figure super cars.

He warns even the most well-off clients are guilty of these common mistakes.

During a chat with motor experts Number 1 Plates, he revealed the top three red flags.And some maybe surprising.

Tommy said: “These are the things I see in almost every car I clean.

“They might seem harmless, but they absolutely trash the interior – and it’s not always something you can just wipe away.”

1. Eating fast food in your car

Whether it’s a quick burger or cheeky drive-thru coffee, eating on the go is the number one mistake.

“Chips under the seats, ketchup in the stitching, greasy fingerprints everywhere – fast food is the biggest killer of clean interiors,” Tommy said.

Number 1 Plates’ motor experts agreed.

They said: “Oil and salt from food can sink into fabrics and plastics.

“Once that smell sets in, it’s incredibly hard to remove.”

Their advice is to eat before, not during, your drive.

2. Never dusting or hoovering

If you think your car looks clean because the outside is gleaming, think again.

Tommy revealed: “Most people never touch the inside.

“You get a build-up of dust, crumbs, dog hair, even makeup residue.

“It slowly eats away at your interior.”

Number 1 Plates recommends a quick vacuum once a week and a microfiber wipe down of your dash and controls to prevent long-term wear and tear.

3. Leaving drinks unsecured

Your morning coffee may be your interior’s worst enemy.

Tommy said: “I’ve seen spilled lattes under seats, sticky energy drinks in cup holders, and fizzy drinks that have etched into leather.

“One client lost £600 repairing a panel after a protein shake exploded.”

According to Number 1 Plates, drivers should use sealed, spill-proof containers or simply wait until parked before drinking anything.

So, if you want to protect your car’s resale value and avoid big repair bills, start by breaking these everyday habits.

“A little care goes a long way,” Tommy said.

“It’s always the small things that do the most damage.”

BRENTFORD are yet to hear from Tottenham over Thomas Frank, while Mauricio Pochettino has taken himself out of contention for a return to North London.

Spurs have made Dane Frank their top target to succeed Ange Postecoglou and are expected to make their move this week.

Ange Postecoglou was sacked this week[/caption]

They reached out to Frank’s representatives while Europa League-winning chief Postecoglou was still in his job.

But SunSport understands there is still yet to be contact between the two clubs.

Frank has a pricey release clause – though it is believed to be less than the £10million mooted – and it remains to be seen if the Bees would be amenable to an offer below the set amount.

The 51-year-old is understood to be interested in taking over from Postecoglou, who was sacked on Friday despite ending Spurs’ 17-year trophy drought last month.

Frank has worked wonders since taking charge at Brentford in 2018, winning them promotion and earning two top-ten finishes in the Premier League, including this season.

He is currently the third longest-serving manager in the top four tiers of English football, behind Simon Weaver of Harrogate Town and Manchester City icon Pep Guardiola.

Ex-Brondby boss Frank and Spurs’ technical director Johan Lange go way back, having shared an office together when coaching at Copenhagen-based side Lyngby two decades ago.

Should Spurs manage to hire Frank, it could see them hijack Manchester United’s move for Bryan Mbeumo.

The Cameroonian, who has also been a target for Newcastle, has just had his best season ever, netting 20 Premier League goals.

Ipswich chief Kieran McKenna would be a leading contender to take over from Frank if a vacancy arises in West London.

But SunSport understands the ex-Spurs academy coach would not be the only name in the frame.

Fulham boss Marco Silva has also been considered by Spurs as a possible target, but has fallen behind Frank in the order of preference.

An emotional return for USA manager Mauricio Pochettino had been suggested, but the Spurs hero has now ruled out making it happen – claiming a summer move is “not realistic”.

Poch, who took Spurs to the Champions League final during a five-year spell as boss between 2014 and 2019, is currently tied down to a contract as boss of the US national team.

The Argentine, 53, is just a year away from the World Cup which takes place in the States, Canada and Mexico, and had been tasked with leading the US to glory.

Rubbishing the idea of a return to Spurs, Poch said: “After I left in 2019, every time that I was free, and the place of the position of the manager or head coach in Tottenham Hotspur, my name is appearing on the list.

“If you have seen the rumours, I think there are 100 coaches in the list. I think, don’t be worried about that.

“If something happened, for sure you will see, but we cannot talk about this type of thing, because I think today, it’s not real.

“It’s not realistic. Look at where I am, where we are. And the thing is, the answer is so clear, no? But we’re talking about it because it’s my club, like Newells or Espanyol.”

GERWYN PRICE claims he has plenty left in the tank – but won’t be content until he’s world champion again.

The 40-year-old won the PDC’s biggest prize back in 2021.

The 2021 world champion is desperate to win a second title[/caption]

Price proved himself king of the oche as he downed rival Gary Anderson 7-3 four years ago.

But he hasn’t made it past the quarter-finals at Ally Pally since.

Gezzy was KO’d in the final four of the Nordic Darts Masters by Rob Cross on Saturday.

It followed a successful Premier League campaign for the Welshman, reaching the finals at London’s O2.

Price claims he is more than happy to keep competing for the next decade at least.

And he’s made sure to put to bed any lingering questions of retirement.

Price told talkSPORT: “I’m sticking around for the next 10 years.

“I mean, one World Championship, it’s not good enough.”

Price turned pro in 2012 after picking darts over rugby.

He’s been the winner of seven major PDC titles – but admits as time goes on, he may be forced to pick and choose events.

The Iceman continued: “I would never give up totally.

“But the Pro Tours and Europeans, depending on how many it’s going to be at that time, because it’s getting more and more every year, but I’ll stop doing those.

“I would never give my Tour Card up. I’d still do events and if they invite me to the Premier League and World Series, I’ll still do them.

“But none of the lower events and just stop the travelling.”

Darts’ hectic pro schedule has become a major talking point among the sport’s elite.

Nathan Aspinall recently branded the calendar “absolutely obscene”.

The Asp fumed: “For us to take a weekend off, I have to pull out events.

“So I’m losing ranking money because I just need a few days off.

“And I’ve done that over the last couple of weeks because I was in a tight position in the Premier League, I really wanted to make the playoffs.”
