But there had been suggestions that Villas-Boas was unhappy at the way in which Spurs were considering other candidates, despite previously indicating he could be interested in the role.

Who will take the reins at White Hart Lane? Bet on the next Tottenham manager here.
And the former Porto boss left little area for doubt when asked about the Tottenham speculation by the Portuguese press.
He was quoted as saying by Portuguese newspaper O Jogo: "There is nothing, it is all lies."
Villas-Boas endured a brief and unhappy time in the Premier League with Chelsea, losing his job in March after some disappointing results and amid suggestions of dressing room unrest.
Spurs may now have to turn their attentions elsewhere as they search for a successor to Redknapp, who was axed after three-and-a-half years at the helm.
