Joe Jordan, Kevin Bond leave Spurs after Harry Redknapp departure

Tottenham coaches Joe Jordan and Kevin Bond have left the club following the shock departure of manager Harry Redknapp, the club confirmed in a statement on Thursday.

Jordan and Bond joined Spurs soon after Redknapp's arrival in 2008 and were seen as the manager's two most trusted lieutenants.

However the duo's future was cast into doubt after Redknapp's abrupt departure from White Hart Lane earlier this month.

"We can now formally confirm that Kevin Bond and Joe Jordan have left the club following Harry Redknapp's departure as manager," Spurs said in a statement.

"Kevin and Joe joined after Harry's appointment in 2008. We should like to thank them for their contribution and achievements during their time at the Club and wish them all the best for the future."

Tottenham have been strongly linked to a move for former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas as they search for a replacement for Redknapp.
