FORMER Spurs boss Juande Ramos has revealed that he would love a new challenge back in English football.

The Spaniard was sacked by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy after guiding the club to their worst ever start to a league season. But the 52-year-old believes he did a good job at White Hart Lane, having masterminded their Carling Cup victory over Chelsea last season.

"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,” said Ramos.

"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 has accepted his dismissal but he is eager not to dwell on the past and has now set his sights on a return to the Premier League, which he admitted was a 'fantasy'.

"I would have liked to spend more time at the club, but I understand what has happened is the unwritten law of football,” he continued.

"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.

"We have to look forward to the next challenge. I left Seville in the UEFA Champions League to come here and sadly things didn't work out."
