Ramos drops Premier League hint

Sevilla coach Juande Ramos has increased the pressure on Tottenham boss Martin Jol by saying he would like to manage in the Premier League.

Ramos has previously said that he rejected a "dizzying offer" from Spurs and would fulfil his Sevilla contract.

However, he told the Daily Mirror: "Today I am the manager of Sevilla and I am only thinking of that but everything is possible.

"One of my challenges as a coach is to work in a foreign country."

He added: "England would be a magnificent destination but I don't have a concrete date. But everyone knows that everything in football is unexpected."

Coincidently, Ramos will be in north London to take on Arsenal in Wednesday's Champions League tie, with Jol's position at Spurs becoming increasingly fraught.

Tottenham slumped to another defeat on Saturday at home to Arsenal. They have won only once in the Premier League this season.

But Sevilla full-back Daniel Alves has suggested that Ramos may not be on his way to Spurs in the short-term, saying he expected him to leave at the end of the season.

"We are confident he will stay for the whole season," Alves told the Daily Telegraph. "We don't fear him leaving. I have got the feeling it will be his last season.

"From the players point of view, he has made history. He has done everything he could.

"If he left they would understand him, it would be deserved."

Meanwhile Jurgen Klinsmann has reportedly been quick to dismiss any stories linking him with the manager's job at White Hart Lane.

Klinsmann is said to be keen only on managing a side playing in the Champions League.
