A number of candidates for the vacant Tottenham role have emerged, with The Independent stating that former Schalke boss Ralf Rangnick is a possible contender.
The German trainer led the Gelsenkirchen side to the semi-final of the Champions League in 2010-11, beating the likes of Inter on the way before eventually being eliminated by Manchester United.
The ex-Schalke man has reportedly turned down approaches from West Brom and Norwich this summer, and will be given a chance to impress the Tottenham hierarchy, who will look to appoint a new coach before the end of the month.
Former Chelsea boss Andre Villas Boas is also in the running for the role, whilst France boss Laurent Blanc is also being touted as an ambitious target.
Harry Redknapp’s dismissal has seen his backroom staff of Joe Jordan, Kevin Bond and Clive Allen all depart the club also, but Tim Sherwood has avoided the axe, and is thought to be a contender for assistant manager as he is highly-regarded by chairman Daniel Levy.
