Tottenham’s situation in the league table is teetering on the edge of disaster.
Details: On a recent episode of the Could It Be Magic podcast, 68-year-old former England, Chelsea, Southampton, Wolves, and Spurs manager Glenn Hoddle offered himself as a candidate to take charge of Tottenham and help the club maintain its Premier League status.

After the 1-3 defeat to Palace, the podcast hosts asked Hoddle if he would be ready, if needed, to return to the dugout and lead his former club out of trouble:
“I think so. Especially with Tottenham, because that’s my club. I’ve supported them since I was eight. So they’ve been a huge part of my life.” Hoddle admitted.
Glenn Hoddle was at the helm of Tottenham from 2001 to 2003. He managed 102 matches with the Spurs, recording 40 wins, 18 draws, and 44 losses.
Hoddle ended his managerial career in 2006 after leaving Wolves, but in 2014 he returned as assistant to Harry Redknapp at QPR, though he left the team just a year later.
