Andre Villas-Boas's approach to Roma was reportedly rejected before the former Chelsea boss began discussions with Tottenham Hotspur.

Former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas was reportedly rejected by Roma before beginning talks with Tottenham Hotspur over their managerial vacancy.

The 34-year-old has been widely tipped to become Harry Redknapp's successor at White Hart Lane, with some reports suggesting that the Portuguese coach is likely to be appointed by the North London club this Sunday.

Despite the former Porto manager beating out France boss Laurent Blanc to the post at Spurs, it is understood that Villas-Boas pitched his plans to the hierarchy at Roma and was subsequently snubbed by the Italian club, according to the Daily Star.

Meanwhile, following Gareth Bale's decision to sign a new contract with Tottenham, it has been speculated that his teammate could be on the move to Real Madrid.
