Mauricio Pochettino and Frank de Boer are the favourites for the Spurs job.
Argentinian Pochettino has done a wonderful job at Southampton stamping his stylish imprint on the club after the sacking of Nigel Adkins.
And has been instrumental in the development of some fine English players such as the World Cup bound Shaw, Lallana and Lambert.
While de Boer has won the Dutch League with Ajax four years in a row now.
All that comes after the sacking of Tim Sherwood.
He gets the chop after a colourful stint at White Hart Lane.
Results on the pitch may have been ok but erratic behaviour off it didn't help his cause as - in the first place - it was obvious it was a stopgap measure.
