How will Tottenham build on successful WSL season?

Tottenham were a bruised team last summer having finished second bottom in the WSL, with only relegated Crystal Palace conceding more goals in a poor campaign that led to the sacking of manager Robert Vilahamn.

Ho was appointed as Vilahamn's successor, joining from Norwegian side SK Brann, who he led to the quarter-finals of the 2023-24 Women's Champions League.

His impact was instant as Spurs won four of their opening five matches - the only defeat coming against champions Manchester City.

Impressive draws with Arsenal and Manchester United followed, meaning Spurs sat level on points with the Gunners in third at the start of 2026.

An aggressive pressing style, more creativity in possession and a structured defence were signs of improvement under Ho, as well as smart recruitment.

He was rewarded with a new long-term contract in March and - despite falling away from the top four in recent months - Spurs will go into the summer feeling positive.

Reflecting on the campaign, Ho said: "It's been positive in numerous aspects, on and off the pitch. There has been a lot of learnings and development.

"It's given us really strong foundations to build on in the future. I'm really pleased with how it's gone.

"However, finishing fifth doesn't win you anything. We want to win, compete and lift trophies.

"There is a lot of pride for the players and the staff for what they have done but there's still a lot of work to do."

Tottenham could finish within four points of Manchester United - where Ho worked as an assistant for three years - if they beat Brighton on Saturday (13:00 BST).

It would be a boost having suffered three successive WSL defeats in March and an FA Cup quarter-final exit to Chelsea last month.

"We had a really good start then a bit of a bumpy road in the second half of the season," added Ho.

"How we faced the adversity and the reaction to that, means we have still performed well.

"Away from the pitch, [what has pleased me is] probably the infrastructure and processes we have put in place to allow this team to be successful in the long-term and to build momentum going into the summer."
