Holland coach Louis van Gaal has held talks with Tottenham.
The Mail on Sunday says Van Gaal is ready to quit his job as Holland's coach and is anticipating a move to London afterwards. Sources say Van Gaal had in-depth discussions with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy last week about his vision for the club and it is understood Levy was impressed with what he heard.
Sherwood will be given his chance to show what he can do in the main role between now and the end of this season.
Spurs will then decide whether Van Gaal, 62, will come to the club alongside him, with Sherwood retaining his 'head coach' title, or whether the Dutchman will take overall control while Sherwood stays on in a different capacity.
