Spurs put Sher-t on Tim ’n AVB

IN THE FRAME ... Andre Villas-Boas

TOTTENHAM are poised to promote Tim Sherwood to director of football and hot up their pursuit of Andre Villas-Boas.

Former Chelsea boss Villas-Boas is emerging as a strong contender to replace Harry Redknapp, along with Spurs legend Jurgen Klinsmann and Wigan’s Roberto Martinez.

Sherwood is one of the few surviving members of sacked Redknapp’s backroom staff and is in line for a second promotion in two years.

The former Spurs midfielder, 43, was appointed technical co-ordinator in 2010 with the responsibility to manage player development across all squads.

Virtually all of Redknapp’s coaching team were also given the boot after his Wednesday exit.

But Sherwood, who was brought in as an assistant first-team coach in November 2008, remains at White Hart Lane.
