Tottenham Hotspur striker Emmanuel Adebayor has revealed that he wants Tim Sherwood to stay on as manager next season.
The 30-year-old fell out of favour with former boss Andre Villas-Boas during the early part of the campaign before returning to the fold under Sherwood.
Despite doubts over whether he will still be at White Hart Lane at the end of the summer, Adebayor would like to see the 45-year-old remain in charge.
"Hopefully he stays, but I am not the chairman of the club so I can't tell you anything about that," the forward told the Tottenham Journal. "We will see what happens in the future.
"No matter where he goes, I will always keep him in my heart and I have a huge respect for him - as a manager, as a friend, as an ex-footballer, because he knows what it takes to be a footballer.
"He respects everyone equally, and for me he is a great man and a great manager."
Tottenham finish their season on Sunday when they play host to Aston Villa.
