Tottenham Hotspur Women have let manager Robert Vilahamn go in the same catastrophic week Ange Postecoglou left the men’s side.
The choice comes after a disappointing 2024/25 English Women’s Super League season that fell short of the expectations of his first campaign.
Why Vilahamn had to leave?
Originally optimistic was Vilahamn, who came from BK Hacken to Spurs in July 2023. Leading the club to its first-ever FA Cup final was among the highlights of his first season.

The second season for the Swede fell short of expectations, though. Performances decreased and the team was well behind their best in results.
Early cut ties between the club and the coach became possible even though he had signed a contract extension to 2027.
What did the club say?
“There have been some special moments during Robert’s tenure, including reaching the FA Cup final for the first time,” remarked Managing Director Andy Rogers.
“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.

Rogers concluded: “We should like to thank Robert for his professionalism and efforts over the past two seasons, and we wish him well for the future.”
The 42-year-old gaffer took the team to their first Women’s FA Cup final which resulted in a 4-0 pummeling defeat to Manchester United.
What next for Spurs?
Tottenham have to look for fresh leadership right now, much like their men’s side. The aim is to revive the promise displayed in Vilahamn’s first year.
Spurs are looking at another rebuilding as the WSL season 2025/26 approaches. This time, they will be looking for constancy both on the pitch and in the dugout.
