Tottenham plot move for under-fire Real Madrid boss Ancelotti if Sherwood is axed

Carlo Ancelotti has emerged as a shock contender to return to the Premier League at Tottenham if Tim Sherwood fails to keep the job beyond this summer.

With Real Madrid having blown their lead in La Liga, coach Ancelotti is under massive pressure to deliver the club’s 10th European Cup.

And Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who has become aware of the dissatisfaction at the Bernabeu, is monitoring developments.

Despite Sunday’s 4-0 defeat at Liverpool, Levy still wants Sherwood to succeed as manager.
The 40-year-old former academy coach is planning for next season and has detailed a number of transfer targets to turn round the club’s fortunes.

Levy is understood to have distanced himself from the possibility of bringing in Dutchmen Louis van Gaal or Frank de Boer, who have irritated the Spurs chairman by talking in public about the approach he made before Sherwood was offered the job.

Ancelotti, who won the Double in his first season with Chelsea in 2009-10 only to be sacked by Roman Abramovich a year later after missing out on a trophy, is an option if Levy feels a change must be made at White Hart Lane.

Why on earth would he join spuds? Rubbish. Also I do believe the problem lies with Levy. He sold Bale. He spent Â£110 mil on cr*p and he's the one that sacked AVB and employed Sherwood. Ancelloti is not and never will be the answer. A fish rots from the head.........

the way spurs throw the managers out with the bath water they will always struggle to move forward. they need a manager who will not only be given time but players to develop and not just keep buying more and more and hoping they will just slot in.
