Former Tottenham<\/a> star Glenn Hoddle<\/a> is among the contenders to be appointed by the North London club following the exit of Igor Tudor<\/a>. The Croatian departed the club this week following a disastrous 44-day spell at the helm.<\/p>\n With Spurs firmly in the relegation mire, they are now looking for their next manager. And former midfielder Hoddle is on the list.<\/p>\n According to Mail Online<\/a>, Spurs have been exploring potential options over the past week as they search for another short-term option as they bide their time until the summer. Hoddle has deep knowledge of the North London club, having made his name there as a player.<\/p>\n He also managed the club for two-and-a-half years, having been appointed in March 2001. Hoddle has not actually been in management since leaving Wolverhampton Wanderers<\/a> in 2006 – nearly 20 years ago.<\/p>\n But asked if he would be open to returning, he suggested he would be happy to help. He said: \u201cI think I would, actually. Particularly with Tottenham<\/a>, as that\u2019s my club. I\u2019ve supported them since I was eight years of age. So they were a massive part of my life.”<\/p>\n JOIN US ON FACEBOOK!<\/strong> Latest news, analysis and much more on Mirror Football’s Facebook page<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n READ MORE: Steven Gerrard has named Tottenham’s next manager with perfect ‘track record’<\/a>READ MORE: Five managers Spurs could appoint as Igor Tudor leaves after 44 days in charge<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile, Hoddle also suggested that former striker Robbie Keane would be an ideal candidate. He added: \u201cRobbie\u2019s doing great as a young manager.<\/p>\n “So to have a steady springboard and someone experienced like myself would be a good formula, in many ways. I think it\u2019d be a shrewd move to have somebody, whether it was me or somebody experienced with him.”<\/p>\n Joe Cole and Peter Crouch<\/a> claimed recently that Spurs needed someone with an understanding of the club. The former said: “I said at the start, this is absolutely nailed on for someone like a Robbie Keane. Someone who has gone and proven himself – a club legend, or Glenn Hoddle, Harry Redknapp<\/a>, someone with a bit of experience.<\/p>\n Glenn Hoddle is being considered by Spurs(Image: Getty Images)<\/p>\n Crouch added: “At least with that, the crowd are buzzing, what you have done, you\u2019ve galvanised it, everyone is behind you. They are willing you to do well, and even if it ultimately doesn\u2019t work, at least the crowd have been lifted, and you feel like you have got that 12th man when trying to get out of it.”<\/p>\n Spurs currently sit 17th in the Premier League<\/a> table and just one point clear of the relegation zone. Their next game pits them against Sunderland<\/a> in a fortnight\u2019s time.<\/p>\n Join our new WhatsApp community<\/a> and receive your daily dose of Mirror<\/a> Football<\/a> content.
