AliousTottenham Hotspur and Igor Tudor have reportedly agreed to go their separate ways after a disappointing stint, according to TEAMtalk.
Tudor, who took over from Thomas Frank just last month, was initially expected to remain in charge until the end of the season. However, his tenure began poorly, with four consecutive defeats against Arsenal, Fulham, Crystal Palace, and Atletico Madrid.
Although Spurs managed a draw against Liverpool at Anfield and secured a win over Atletico Madrid in the return leg, they were still knocked out of the UEFA Champions League. Their struggles continued domestically, culminating in a heavy 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest, leaving them 17th in the Premier League and just one point above the relegation zone.
Tottenham set for another managerial change
The club will now begin the search for yet another manager to guide them through the remainder of the season. Former AS Monaco boss Adi Hutter—reportedly labelled a “super coach”—has emerged as a leading candidate.
Other names under consideration include former Spurs defender and ex-Newcastle United manager Chris Hughton, whose experience in the Premier League and familiarity with the club are viewed as key advantages. Tim Sherwood and Ryan Mason have also been mentioned in internal discussions.
The defeat to Forest appears to have been the breaking point, with the club reaching a final decision after weeks of internal deliberations. Reports had already indicated, prior to the Liverpool match, that Spurs were exploring replacement options as results under Tudor continued to decline.
Chief executive Vinai Venkatesham is believed to have made the final call following those discussions. Meanwhile, Tudor himself is said to be prepared to step aside after being informed of his father’s death shortly after the loss to Forest, with all parties now aligned on an amicable exit.
Long-term future still undecided
While Spurs focus on appointing a short-term solution to secure their top-flight status, the permanent managerial role for next season remains open.
Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly the club’s ideal long-term choice and could be interested if they avoid relegation. Former boss Mauricio Pochettino is also considered a strong option once he completes his commitments with the United States men’s national team at the World Cup.
For Tottenham, however, the immediate priority is survival in the Premier League. A poor decision now could leave them with little time to recover and potentially cost them their place in the top division.
