Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has admitted that technical co-ordinator Tim Sherwood will face a difficult decision if he receives an approach from Blackburn Rovers.
Sherwood has been linked to the vacant Rovers post this weekend after Steve Kean's resignation on Friday.
Speaking at the post-match press conference following his side's 3-2 victory at Old Trafford, Villas-Boas said: "I can't comment on the Blackburn situation because I have Steve Kean as a friend and I respect him.
"But if Tim is a candidate, he has to make a personal decision and speak to the club."
Sherwood captained Rovers to their solitary Premier League title triumph in 1995 and remains a firm favourite at Ewood Park.
