F.Capello - favorite to take the position of "Tottenham" coach © EuroFootball.com

Russia's national team coach Fabio Capello is named as the main contender to take over the position of head coach at Tottenham in London.

The 67-year-old Italian is interested in the opportunity to work again with his compatriot Franco Baldini, who holds the position of director at the English club.

However, first F.Capello would fulfill his commitments to the Russians and take over Tottenham after the World Cup in Brazil.

According to the media, assistant Tim Sherwood would manage the London team for the rest of the season.
