Former Manchester United assistant manager and Portugal boss Carlos Queroz revealed that he showed interest in the vacant managerial role at Spurs, following on from the sacking of Andres Villas-Boas in 2013. Asked if he was interesting in the job, Queiroz had this to say:
Absolutely. Tottenham is a club I really appreciate a lot and I have great admiration. One of my coaching dreams is to get back to English football. I was very happy in Manchester. It was the most happy and outstanding football period of my entire career.
He also revealed he has had "some private connections in the past" with Daniel Levy, although what they were is unknown, but it is believed that he had spoken about taking the White Hart Lane hot-seat in the past. Queiroz is currently boss of the Iranian national football team.
