Blackburn are reportedly eyeing former player Tim Sherwood as their new manager, with Steve Kean living on borrowed time according to The Sun.

It is believed that the Scottish boss, who was in charge for the Ewood Park club’s relegation from the Premier League last term, is close to being given the axe by the club’s owners Venky’s, with a hold-up over potential compensation.

The Rovers fans have petitioned for Kean to be sacked over the last year, and it looks as though the decision has been made to replace the coach.

Sherwood, who is currently a coach for Tottenham, is said to be ambitious to move into management, and the Championship side are hoping that the ex-midfielder would be a popular choice amongst the club’s supporters.

Sherwood captained Rovers to the Premier League title back in 1995, and Spurs would surely struggle to hold onto their coach should a manager’s job at Blackburn become available.
