Tim Sherwood is a leading contender to take over as Norwich boss – and is believed to be interested in the job even if the Canaries are relegated.

Sherwood has been told he will lose his job as Tottenham boss and is highly unlikely to stay at White Hart Lane in another role – despite an offer from chairman Daniel Levy.

Sherwood is aware of Norwich’s interest and is desperate to land another manager’s job, having enjoyed his brief and often tumultuous spell in the Spurs hot seat.

He would consider taking over at the Canaries, even if they go down – and they face a desperately tough four-match run-in under caretaker boss Neil Adams, beginning against Liverpool today.

Chris Hughton was sacked by Norwich two weeks ago and the club are unlikely to give Adams the post on a full-time basis, whether they stay up or not.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon is also on the Norwich shortlist.
