Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp believes chairman Daniel Levy had already sounded out the next manager before he sacked Jose Mourinho.
Redknapp believes it will be Brendan Rodgers, if Spurs can persuade him to quit Leicester, or Belgium manager Roberto Martinez.
“I would think I would have more chance than (Maurizio) Sarri," Redknapp said. “Where would he come into it?
“Who do I see? I see Brendan Rodgers or Roberto Martinez. I think he would have a big chance. And they tried to get Brendan when I left. It is whether he wants it."
Redknapp also said: "Tottenham have already got somebody. They will have done a deal with somebody already. I know how they work.
“When I went, they had already spoken to two or three people. I knew that and I had heard that.
“When Mauricio Pochettino went at 9pm one evening, by 8am the next morning, Mourinho was in the training ground."
