Tottenham manager Ho signs new long-term deal

Tottenham Hotspur Women have tied manager Martin Ho to a new long-term contract after a promising first season in charge, the club confirmed today.

Ho, 35, arrived at Spurs in July 2025 from Norwegian side SK Brann and has quickly steered the club toward one of its most successful Women's Super League campaigns. With four matches left, Tottenham sit fifth in the table on 29 points—just three short of equalling the club record 32-point haul set in 2021-22.

The north Londoners have registered nine wins from 18 league fixtures and remain firmly in the hunt for a top-four finish. They trail fourth-placed Arsenal by six points, though the Gunners hold two games in hand ahead of Saturday’s derby at the Emirates Stadium (17:30 GMT).

Ho’s impact was recognised in February when he collected the WSL Manager of the Month award after guiding Spurs through a series of eye-catching performances. The former Everton and Manchester United coach said the new deal reflects shared ambition at the club.

"I'm really proud to extend my time at Tottenham Hotspur," Ho said. "I want to thank the club for the trust and belief they've shown in me. That alignment is vital when you're building something with real purpose. From the moment I arrived, there was a clear vision around the direction of the club.

"Together, we've started to lay strong foundations in terms of identity, standards, and the way we want to work every day. There has been progress, but we know there is much more to come."

Chairman Karen Hills echoed the manager’s sentiments, praising Ho’s “clarity and energy” since taking the reins and emphasising that the new agreement “underlines our commitment to sustainable growth on and off the pitch.”

Tottenham return to action this weekend aiming to close the gap on their neighbours and keep European qualification hopes alive with a strong finish to the season.
