Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Gary Lineker believes that Glenn Hoddle should be given the chance to take charge at White Hart Lane following Andre Villas-Boas's dismissal.

The North London outfit confirmed this morning that Villas-Boas has left the club after yesterday's 5-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Following the news, Lineker wrote on Twitter: "Would love to see Glenn Hoddle given another chance at this level. Has a brilliant football mind."

Hoddle spent two years in charge of Spurs before leaving in 2003.
