Andre Villas-Boas, Ralf Rangnick and Laurent Blanc are reportedly the three main candidates on Tottenham Hotspur's shortlist to replace Harry Redknapp as the club's new manager.
Villas-Boas rejected claims yesterday that he had already held talks with the London club over their managerial vacancy.
It is understood that Spurs have not yet directly contacted any managers but talks involving agents have taken place to identify who is available and interested in the position.
Villas-Boas and Rangnick are both currently unemployed, however France boss Blanc is said to be close to extending his contract with the French Football Federation.
Nevertheless, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will hold discussions with all three individuals next week when he returns from the USA, according to the Sunday Telegraph.
Rangnick was reported to have rejected the chance to become the manager of West Bromwich Albion earlier this month.
