The future of Harry Redknapp at Tottenham is under a cloud.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and Redknapp have worked well as a combination, though it's claimed they're very much an odd couple.
The Telegraph says Levy is understood still to be taken with the prospect of eventually employing a younger head coach to work alongside a technical director, with the chairman overseeing the buying and selling of players.
There has been tension over transfers between Levy and Redknapp and it is set to be a tricky summer given the uncertainly over the futures of prize assets Luka Modric and Gareth Bale.
The manager has just over a year on his current deal.
