Tottenham legend says he made shock offer to manage relegation-threatened club

Tottenham Glenn Hoddle Ossie Ardiles Roberto De Zerbi
  • Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle revealed on The Jeff Stelling Show he offered to take charge of the club alongside fellow former player Ossie Ardiles amid their desperate fight against relegation.
  • The offer was made after a damaging 3-0 home defeat by Nottingham Forest on 23 March, which underscored the club's crisis and led to Igor Tudor's departure.
  • Hoddle stated his motivation was to unite the fans, owners, and team, believing the club "needed some love" to avoid a first relegation in 49 years.
  • Despite the offer, Tottenham ultimately appointed Roberto De Zerbi, who secured his first victory against Wolves on Saturday, yet the club remains two points from safety.
  • Hoddle accepted the club's decision, emphasising his desire for Tottenham to stay in the Premier League regardless of his involvement, while acknowledging the challenge ahead for De Zerbi.
