Martin Jol has been confirmed as the new head coach of Spurs.

Jol has been waiting in the wings since Jaques Santini's resignation was announced on Friday.

The decision is not really a surprise as it is rumoured Frank Arnesen wanted Jol to get the job in the summer but Daniel Levy wanted to get a big name in having kept the Spurs fans waiting so long.

Jol seems to be more offensive minded than Santini whose initial success at the Lane was based on solid but unspectacular defensive performances. Jol seems to appreciate the traditions of the club and hopefully he'll prove over the next 2 and a half years of his contract that he is the right man to bring us success.

Another good thing about Jol was his willingness to change it around on Saturday when things weren't going well. The introduction of Ziegler and Carrick helped the shape of the team and 2 players who were not performing to the expected standards were hauled off.

Good luck Martin. A win against the Scum would help you settle in no end!
