Former Premier League star ready to quit manager job to become Spurs boss

He is ready to take the role!

Sacked on Wednesday night following a 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle United, the former Brentford boss lasted only eight months in the role.

Leaving the club in a poor position of 16th, the Premier League 'big 6' club categorically find themselves in a relegation battle now.

Five points above West Ham United in 18th and two points above Nottingham Forest in 17th, Spurs' next fixture is tough, the mammoth task of Arsenal at home.

Though, a former player of the club would be ready to start imminently: Robbie Keane.

According to The Sun, Keane would be open to joining from Ferencvaros, should Spurs come calling for his services.

Moving to Spurs would see the 45-year-old return to North London after two spells at the club during his playing days.

He spent six seasons in his first stint before then coming back for a second spell.

Making over 300 appearances for the club, he bagged 52 goals and assisted them to Carabao Cup glory in the 2007/08 season.
