5 managers who have said yes to Tottenham job including Harry Redknapp and Tim Sherwood

Tottenham Hotspur sit one point above the relegation zone and are in a precarious position in the Premier League after a rollercoaster season

Tottenham could be considering employing a third manager this season as they sit dangerously close to the relegation zone.

A 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest has left them just one point away from the Premier League drop. Igor Tudor has only been in interim charge for seven games, but has struggled to drag them away from danger.

The Croatian has won just one game so far and has watched his Spurs side continue to look uninspired in domestic competition.

The club's hierarchy may be considering a change in management during the March international break in order to avoid relegation to the Championship.

Here, football.london has outlined five contenders for the Spurs job and what they've said about the potential to take charge in north London.

Glenn Hoddle

Glenn Hoddle has admitted he would be open to managing his boyhood club if things don't improve. When asked if he would head back to north London, Hoddle told the Could it be Magic FA Cup podcast that the club were a "massive part" of his life throughout his career and beyond.

The former Tottenham midfielder said: "I think I would, actually. Particularly with Tottenham, as that’s my club. I’ve supported them since I was eight years of age. So they were a massive part of my life."

Admitting issues during his previous managerial stint at Spurs, Hoddle added: "I managed them probably at the wrong time, I’ve got to say, politically and financially.

"[There] wasn’t the money there. Certainly, it wasn’t what they told me I was going into."

Tim Sherwood

Tim Sherwood has also thrown his hat into the ring and insists he "can do the job." Speaking to Sky Sports, the former Aston Villa boss said: "It was an honour for me to manage that football club and it would be an honour for me to manage them again.

"I can do the job. I have proved that I can do the job. What they can't do is make a mistake with this appointment."

Highlighting his confidence before Tudor's appointment, Sherwood added: "I'm 50/1, so there's no chance really ... But maybe it's not sexy enough, I might have too much of a personality for that hierarchy.

"If you look at what I did when I went in there, I did the job. I did the job I was asked to do and won more games than losses. My home record was excellent as well.

"I played on the front foot. Forget how you're going to play in this situation, they need to win, no matter how you play, you need to win.

"They need to take the shackles off this group of players, get some confidence and make sure they're prepared for a relegation battle.

"When I look through that squad, I'd probably hand my hat on five of them to have a fight down there, they're not ready for a fight at the moment when you look from the outside."

Harry Redknapp

Managerial hero Harry Redknapp is also keen to give the Spurs squad a lift ahead of their potential battle with relegation. Speaking at the Cheltenham Festival where he watched one of his horses in the Gold Cup, the ex-West Ham boss believes that the club's hierarchy are aware of his interest.

Redknapp told Sky Sports: "They know where I am if they need me. They need somebody to go in there and give them a lift and make them believe in themselves.

"They're bang in trouble, I must be truthful. It's going to be tight at the bottom, isn't it?"

In an interview with talkSPORT earlier this week, the 79-year-old revealed he had discussed the situation with former Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, who told him he would have given Redknapp the reins until the summer.

"I got a phone call last week from Daniel, funnily enough," Redknapp said. "I think I spoke to him once since I left all that time ago. I was in the car last week and suddenly my phone goes – it's Daniel Levy.

"I was on the phone to him for about half an hour. He said to me: 'If I was there now, and I'm not just saying it, I would bring you back until the end of the season, Harry'. That would have been interesting."

Gus Poyet

Gus Poyet is another former Spurs star who would be willing to take on the reins in north London. The 58-year-old was last in charge of Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, spending a year there before stepping down at the end of last season.

When asked if he would say yes to his ex-club if they came knocking, Poyet told talkSPORT: "I can’t say no, and I have to trust my ability, I have no doubt. But listen, me, I like when the clubs, they support the coach. I like it."

The ex-midfielder has had stints at a number of clubs including Brighton, Sunderland and Real Betis.

Roberto De Zerbi

Roberto De Zerbi hasn't come out and said directly that he would take on the Spurs job. However, the former Marseille coach is said to be open to the position in the summer at least - but only if they retain their Premier League status.

De Zerbi is reported to have held private talks with Spurs and is viewed as a frontrunner for the summer vacancy alongside Mauricio Pochettino, as per The Telegraph.

The Italian could consider coming in earlier at the club in order to make sure Spurs stay in the top flight. Given that De Zerbi is currently without a club - having left Marseille in February - he could be tempted to come in before the season's end.
