Jol the favourite to replace Santini

MARTIN JOL will almost certainly be handed the Spurs job in the wake of Jacques Santini’s decision last night to walk out of White Hart Lane.

Tottenham once again find themselves in a managerial void following Santini's decision to leave the club for personal reasons. After spending much of last season looking for the right man, Santini's sudden decision to quit the club has also put the spotlight on chairman Daniel Levy.

Last season, Spurs sacked Glenn Hoddle just six games into the season and now it is almost a case of deja vu for their long-suffering fans as Santini heads for the exit door after only 13 games in charge.
