Tottenham manager Martin Ho is taking the FA Cup seriously this weekend as he plots tangible success in his first season at the club.
Ho took over last summer after Spurs finished second bottom in the 2024-25 Women's Super League, but just past the midway point of this campaign, he has Tottenham in fourth, level with Arsenal in the third Champions League spot.
That was achieved thanks to a 1-0 win over Leicester on Sunday, and Ho will lock horns with Foxes counterpart Rick Passmoor once again in this weekend's FA Cup fourth round.
"It's a prestigious competition," Ho said. "Something every coach, club and player wants to be part of.
"We take every competition seriously – I don't see the cups as one where you rotate players for the sake of it. We'll go into the game with the strongest possible team, because we want to compete for all honours."
Ho has been clear he is ambitious to achieve at Tottenham and said doing well in the FA Cup is part of that objective.
"It can create special moments and real happiness to supporters," he said. "If we show ambition, desire and togetherness, this squad is capable of reaching the latter stages and competing to win.
"I wouldn't have joined if the club's ambition didn't match mine.
"The ownership has invested heavily in the team, in players, staff, facilities and infrastructure. They want this team competing in Europe consistently and challenging for honours domestically.
"I share that ambition completely."
