Tottenham manager Glenn Hoddle has given the green light to Chris Hughton teaming up with new Republic of Ireland manager Brian Kerr.

Kerr, who will be unveiled tomorrow in Dublin as the successor to Mick McCarthy, wants Hughton to assist him on a part-time basis.

Former Republic left back Hughton - who starred for his country in the finals of Euro 88 - is currently the highly respected first team coach at White Hart Lane, but will be allowed to work with Kerr if an official approach is made.

Hoddle said: "I won't stand in Chris' way. I am due to speak to him, and we would need to clear it with the board, but I have no objections to it happening."
