Brendan Rodgers has made it clear that he is not interested in taking the vacant Spurs job.
He was the preferred candidate after Julian Nagelsmann to succeed Jose Mourinho, and, with the German now out of the running after agreeing to take over at Bayern Munich next season, the Northern Irishman was next on the list.
But despite overtures having been made to him this week, Rodgers will not be moving to North London.
He is on the verge of securing Champions League qualification with Leicester City and wants the opportunity to lead them into European competition next season.
In addition, he has reservations about the Tottenham job. He is afforded a great deal of autonomy at the King Power Stadium in how the runs football operations and is aware that he would not enjoy the same freedom under Levy.
That means Tottenham will have to search elsewhere for the new manager.
