Andre Villas-Boas says he's at Tottenham to make the club better, not to restore his own reputation.

The Portuguese was keen to place the emphasis on the club's battle for success ahead of his own.

"It is not a mission of restoring my reputation, it's a mission to put Tottenham back on track with titles. Since 2008 we haven't won anything," he said.

"It is right we take the club forward, mixing it with titles and with success. Hopefully I can bring them to this football club.

"It is a massive opportunity for me and I am extremely pleased to be given that opportunity.

"I am pleased to come to a club with such high ambitions for the future and I hope to repay the trust of the chairman with success."
