Former England manager Glenn Hoddle has revealed his concern over the future of Tottenham Hotspur.

The club are expected to appoint Andre Villas-Boas as their new boss after Harry Redknapp was sacked last month.

Luka Modric also looks to be on his way out of White Hart Lane, and Hoddle is adamant that whoever takes charge of the side must steer the club back in the right direction.

"It was a big call from Daniel Levy to let Harry Redknapp go, and it's an even bigger call to bring in Andre Villas-Boas," Hoddle told talkSPORT.

"It's a real crossroads. Tottenham didn't need to be in this position. They should have been moving forward, keeping the players they've got, brining in some new ones and improving the stadium.

"Whoever gets the job has a massive task to take them on. I'm surprised Redknapp's gone and I'm surprised Villas-Boas is taking over. He'll be under pressure because of what happened at Chelsea."

Hoddle previously managed Spurs from 2001 to 2003.
