Glenn Hoddle says he won't be going for the Tottenham job.

Tim Sherwood identified Hoddle as one of the managers touting himself to take over at White Hart Lane.

But the former England boss said: "I have seen that I am the favourite for this job, that job, virtually every job. That I am ready, that I am desperate to get back into management, that I am touting for this or that job.

"But I am not. I am not applying. Tim Sherwood must obviously feel under pressure to take what has happened and what has been in the public domain for some time now and choose to interpret that as me touting for his job.

"The truth of the matter is vastly different, and I can imagine by naming me he is deflecting attention from himself, which is fair enough - managers do it all the time."
