Former Netherlands defender John Heitinga has joined Tottenham as an assistant coach.

Heitinga started the season in charge of Dutch giants Ajax but was sacked in November following a poor start to the campaign.

He had previously been part of Arne Slot's Premier League title-winning coaching staff at Liverpool.

Spurs boss Thomas Frank said: "John is a great addition to our coaching staff. His ability, personality and character will add huge value both on and off the pitch.

"As a former defender, that will be one of his main responsibilities on the training pitch and he brings great coaching and management experiences from all levels of the game, which will really help us moving forward."
