Ramos link to Spurs as Jol departs

Juande Ramos has emerged as the leading contender to take over from Martin Jol following the Dutchman’s departure as Tottenham manager on Thursday.

Spurs announced after the UEFA Cup defeat to Getafe that Jol and assistant boss Chris Hughton were sacked following the club’s dismal start to the season, although news had filtered through to fans during the match.
