Ramos would return to England despite Tottenham flop

Juande Ramos admits he would love to manage another Premier League club despite his chastening experience at Tottenham.

Ramos was sacked last month after presiding over Tottenham's worst ever start to a league season, but the Spaniard still describes his time at White Hart Lane as an “unforgettable experience” that makes him determined to return to England as soon as possible.

The former Sevilla coach arrived in north London as one of Europe's most highly-regarded coaches but, although he won the League Cup last season, he was axed after losing the confidence and support of his players early in the current campaign.

Ramos, who has just agreed a pay-off on the remaining two and a half years of his Tottenham contract, was frustrated at the manner of his exit but holds no ill-feeling to his former employers.

“I would have liked to spend more time at the club, but I understand what has happened is the unwritten law of football,” Ramos told The Times.

“Being in the Premier League was a dream come true, a fantasy I had since I started as a manager. Given the right chance, I would love to be back.

“In the first few months we managed to win a title. I am the first Spanish manager to win a title in the legendary Wembley, which is obviously the happiest moment of my life in England.

“Spurs had not won any in a long time and I honestly thought at that stage it was going to be the first in a line of successes at the club.”

Ramos, who has already turned down three offers to return to management, has been linked with Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid and believes his success at Sevila proves he could make an impact at one of Europe's top clubs.

“We have to look forward to the next challenge,” he said. “I left Seville in the Champions League to come here and sadly things didn't work out.

“It is now time to enjoy, to find the next place where we can take our methods, which we have shown can be successful.”
