Something to Sing About (Robert Vilahamn)

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Robert Vilahamn discusses an eye-catching debut season in England that included a first FA Cup final and Spurs’ first-ever league win over Arsenal, plus the surreal experience of hearing fans serenade him with a chant borrowed from KC and the Sunshine Band. The Swedish coach reflects candidly on tactical lessons from a heavy defeat to Manchester City, his commitment to attacking, development-focused football learned from BK Häcken, and his determination to promote academy talent like Ella Morris rather than simply recruiting the finished article. He also opens up on family life in London with wife Sofi and twins Alvina and Kaspian, an ill-fated Cornwall holiday, and his unlikely journey from a self-described terrible English student to leading press conferences in his second language.
