Andre Villas-Boas is hopeful that Tottenham will look to bring in a sporting director this summer. At the moment AVB handles team policy whilst chairman Daniel Levy handles player recruitment.
Villas-Boas has been very open with his throughts regarding club matters, and explained to reporters the reasons why a sporting director can help his team next year.<br />
"We have been outlining the route ahead for what we want to do in terms of the club structures," Villas-Boas told reporters. "Hopefully the arrival of somebody else in the structure for the recruitment side, a technical director.<br />
"It would be good to have the person that bridges the gap between manager and board and is able to be focused on the technical side of things. I told the club that it's somebody who is extremely important in my view of the structures of the club.<br />
"Someone who has experience of dressing rooms, represents the club, is able to link up with players, agents, I think it's a very important role. It probably opens a wider market and we are able to touch different players. It will help with the club moving forward to the dimension that we want to arrive.<br />
"It's something that I am used to working with. I have had a number of experiences. With Jose (Mourinho) at Inter Milan with (Marco) Branca working alongside us, it worked well.<br />
"Not only me as a manager but when I was with him so I think it's something that works. Since the first day I told the club that it's somebody who is extremely important in my view to the structure of the club."
