Tim Sherwood has been placed in interim charge of Spurs, while Hoddle, Fabio Capello and Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino have emerged as contenders for the position.
Former England boss Hoddle was in charge at Spurs between 2001 and 2003 but has not been in club management since Wolves in 2006.
A story on a website co-founded by Hoddle suggested he is awaiting a call from White Hart Lane and read "Zapsportz.com understands that Hoddle will certainly help if the club makes an approach."
