Tottenham Hotspur may replace Redknapp with Andre Villa Boas

Tottenham Hotspur have contacted representatives of former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas as the club's search for a new manager gathers pace.

Intermediaries acting for Spurs have contacted the 34-year-old's agent to gauge his interest and he may even be interviewed later this week.

Chairman Daniel Levy returns to London on Monday and will personally take charge of the recruitment process.

France coach Laurent Blanc has also emerged as a potential candidate.

Villas-Boas's agent was in London over the weekend, although Spurs insist they will not be rushed into a knee-jerk appointment and plan to speak with a number of candidates.

Harry Redknapp was sacked last Wednesday after almost four years in charge at White Hart Lane.
