Tottenham are in no rush to appoint a successor as manager to Jose Mourinho.
There has been intense speculation over Mourinho’s replacement since he was sacked on 19 April.
RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann, Erik ten Hag and Brendan Rodgers have been linked with the Spurs job.
However, Nagelsmann has agreed to join Bayern Munich next season, while Ten Hag and Rodgers have pledged their futures to Ajax and Leicester respectively.
This has led to a view that Tottenham are struggling to find a new manager, which the club feel is unfair.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy was always prepared to take his time to work through a recruitment process and it is understood he is yet to identify a favoured candidate.
Any approaches for the men already linked to the job would have been pointless, but BBC Sport has been told that no discussions have been held.
Interim boss Ryan Mason is continuing to lead Spurs and it is thought unlikely that situation will change before the end of the season.
Spurs are seventh in the Premier League, five points off the top four, and have a favourable run-in until a last-day trip to third-placed Leicester.
