Ex-Villa defender Ehiogu enjoying Spurs coaching role

Former Aston Villa defender Ugo Ehiogu says he's enjoying his coaching job with Tottenham.

Ehiogu wrote in the Daily Mail: "In my role as assistant U16 coach at Tottenham, there is a clear DNA outlined at the club through out the academy ages.

"That DNA is laid out and passed down from Tim Sherwood, Head of Football Development, John McDermott, Head of Academy, and the wonderfully experienced Chris Ramsey, who is Senior Professional Phase Coach.

"The way that Tottenham teams play is clear and all the coaches know what is expected of them. The emphasis is on technique at a very early age and the idea is to try and produce players who can progress into the first team, or go on and make a living in the game."
