Tottenham Hotspur have finally agreed to terms on a three year contract with ex-Chelsea and ex-Porto manager Andre Villas-Boas after nearly three weeks of having their managerial position vacant.
Ferguson's furious reaction to United's defeat in Portugal prompted Porto coach Jose Mourinho to taunt the United manager, comparing the size of the two clubs' budgets.
It sealed a remarkable end to a difficult season in which Portuguese manager Andre Villas-Boas was sacked in March, just nine months after he arrived from Porto.
