Hans Leitert, a 35-year old Austrian goalkeeping coach, only
joined Spurs during the summer to work specifically with the
underperforming Paul Robinson. But England's former number one was
sold to Blackburn Rovers, and Heurelho Gomes from PSV Eindhoven was
brought in.
The bumbling Brazilian made gaffe after gaffe and has conceded
20 goals in just 13 games. Manager Harry Redknapp refuses to axe
Gomes, but has instead dismissed Leitert.
The Lilywhite north London club have been quick to replace
Leitert, bringing Spurs legend Tony Parks into the equation.
Parks helped Tottenham Hotspur claim the Uefa Cup in 1984 by
saving a penalty against Anderlecht.
Parks has been helping coach the national side's goalkeepers of
late, along with Ray Clemence and Martin Thomas, but the 45-year
old will now join Redknapp's revolution at White Hart Lane.
Spurs play Blackburn Rovers when Premier League business resumes
this weekend.
