Spurs expected to unveil Hoddle tomorrow

Glenn Hoddle is expected to be announced Tottenham manager tomorrow as talks on compensation with Southampton continue.

Glenn Hoddle is expected to be announced Tottenham manager tomorrow as talks on compensation with Southampton continue.

The north London club announced there would be no press conference today as the Saints still hold Hoddle's registration.

Former England coach Hoddle, who quit as Southampton boss on Tuesday night, is expected to sign a five-year contract once compensation has been agreed.

Tottenham players have already been told that their new boss will be in charge from Monday, which means Hoddle's first game will be the FA Cup semi-final against great rivals Arsenal at Old Trafford, a week on Sunday.

Southampton chairman Rupert Lowe will not release Hoddle's registration until he gets compensation from Tottenham for the 15 months remaining on the 42-year-old's contract - thought to be worth about £800,000.

Hoddle's agent, Dennis Roach, is confident the matters will all be resolved soon and amicably.
