Spurs boss not worried about position

Martin Jol has reiterated he is confident he has the full support of Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy. The Spurs boss has found his position under intense scrutiny during the opening weeks of the season following just one win in seven Premier League games. Juande Ramos was strongly linked with the White Hart Lane post before Spurs vehemently denied holding talks with the Sevilla coach. Now, following Jose Mourinho's departure from Chelsea, the Portuguese has been tipped to replace Jol in North London.

Backing

Some reports have claimed that Mourinho has already been offered Jol's job, but the Dutchman has been reassured about his position. Jol confirmed he has spoken to Levy following the latest bout of speculation and expects to have the club's continued backing. "Daniel Levy phoned me to say it was rubbish and hoped that I would be with him next year," said Jol after the 1-1 draw at Bolton. "He is always good to me, always backing me."
