Lippi: Tottenham's first choice

Marcello Lippi is under consideration to replace the under-fire Martin Jol. Lippi is known to be Tottenham's first choice should he be fired in the coming weeks.

Jol's position is known to be under threat after Tottenham's terrible start to the season despite spending a fortune over the summer.

A loss in their next game against Arsenal could be the end of the road for Jol - however - a victory against Arsenal could keep Jol in the job for a long time.

The former Juventus coach has supposedly made it clear to Spurs chiefs he would relish the opportunity of managing in the Premier League.
