Tottenham are searching for their third manager of the season after parting ways with Igor Tudor.
Spurs announced on Sunday that Tudor had left by mutual consent and the club plans to appoint a new head coach in the coming days, so someone is in place for when the players return from international duty next week.
That would give the new manager around 10 days to prepare for their next game away at Sunderland on April 12.
Spurs are deep in relegation trouble after their gamble on Tudor backfired and has resulted in just one point out of a possible 15 in the Premier League.
Last weekend’s miserable 3-0 home defeat against Nottingham Forest, in what was billed as a relegation six-pointer, leaves Spurs just one point above the bottom three with seven games to play.

Spurs are said to have offered De Zerbi, who has been of long-standing interest to the club, a bumper contract which runs for five years.
It has seen Sean Dyche grow weaker in the market, and Marco Silva fall entirely out of contention, along with Mauricio Pochettino.
One former Tottenham man who has confirmed his eagerness for the role is Harry Redknapp, but having been out of work for nine years, it would be a bold move to hand him the reins.
Robbie Keane is also in the running. The former Spurs striker is currently the manager of Hungarian club Ferencvaros.
