Tottenham Hotspur have named a new goalkeeping coach.
35-year-old Hans Leitert has left Recreativo Huelva to become Spurs' new First Team goalkeeping coach.
A statement on the club's official website said: "We are delighted to announce the appointment of Hans Leitert to our coaching staff.
"As a player, Leitert represented his country at Under-18 and Under-21 level before a wrist injury forced him into retirement having been the youngest goalkeeper in the Austrian top-flight during his time with VfB Modling.
"Leitert, who holds a Master's degree in Sports Science, has also been invited to speak at goalkeeping lectures on behalf of UEFA."
Sporting Director Damien Comolli said: "We took a lot of care in our search for a new First Team goalkeeping coach. It is a crucial position at the Club, not only in terms of training and developing the First Team goalkeepers, but also because we have got a lot of quality and potential in goalkeepers of a younger age group - so it was a very important choice for us.
"We believe Hans will bring many qualities to the Club. He is a forward thinking coach who likes to employ new methods, a very enthusiastic individual who has lived and worked in different countries with different influences and has also worked with UEFA. He joins us with glowing references and an excellent reputation."
