Tottenham Hotspur Women have been told they have made a “great decision” in extending Martin Ho’s contract despite a bad run of form.
The 35-year-old was appointed in July 2025 from Norwegian side SK Brann and is enjoying an impressive first campaign in the Tottenham dugout.
Tottenham sit fifth in the Women’s Super League after finishing second from bottom last season and are just four points away from beating their best points tally of 32, set in 2022.
However, four defeats in their last five matches in the league have dampened the mood around Spurs.
Despite that, WSL expert Feringa Megan exclusively told Tottenham News that Spurs have a bright future with Ho at the helm.

Tottenham have a ‘vision’ under Martin Ho
The former Manchester United assistant coach has been an excellent acquisition for Tottenham following his three-year deal last summer.
After having an outside shot at qualifying for Europe earlier this year, he also won the February manager of the month award.
Tottenham do have a tough end to the season, with matches against fourth-placed Manchester United and mid-table sides London City and Brighton.
After three straight league defeats, Tottenham’s season is at risk of petering out. However, Feringa believes that Spurs are on an upward trajectory under Ho, who signed a long-term deal with the north London team in late March.
But they do need to make some quality additions in the summer to take them to that next level.
“It’s a great decision by Tottenham,” said Feringa of The Athletic.
“Martin is a good manager with a vision, and nailing him to another deal is a sign of intent from the club to keep pushing forward with their women’s team investment, which they need to do to close the gap to the top.”
Tottenham need to regroup
Since returning from the March international break, Tottenham suffered a disappointing loss to Everton at home, followed by heavy defeats to Manchester City and Arsenal.
Ho’s side put up more of a fight against Chelsea but still exited the Women’s FA Cup at the quarter-final stage on 6 April at Kingsmeadow.
Now, they have a chance to get their first win of the season against one of the WSL’s big four when they host Man United later this month.
Even if they don’t win that one, Tottenham have to target setting a club record WSL points total when the season draws to a close.
