AliousIgor Tudor is under intense pressure at Tottenham Hotspur following last weekend’s heavy 3–0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. The Croatian coach has received sympathy from supporters after the passing of his father, which saw him leave the stadium immediately after the match to return home.
Despite the personal circumstances, decisions must still be made behind the scenes. Spurs officials are now weighing up whether to continue with Tudor or make another managerial change. Reports indicate that the club could part ways with him by mutual consent, with the current international break providing an opportunity to appoint a new manager ahead of the final seven decisive fixtures of the season.
Amid the uncertainty surrounding Tudor’s future, attention has also turned to Yves Bissouma. The midfielder is expected to leave Tottenham when his contract expires in June, with the club opting not to trigger an extension. He is therefore set to depart on a free transfer in search of a fresh start.
Bissouma, who joined Spurs from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2022, has struggled to establish himself consistently. His representatives are already exploring potential destinations ahead of the summer window.
The Malian international nearly secured a move to Fenerbahçe last summer, but a knee injury halted the transfer. Earlier this season, he also fell out of favour under former manager Thomas Frank, further limiting his role in the squad.
A return to Ligue 1 is now a strong possibility, with Olympique de Marseille and OGC Nice both reportedly interested. Clubs in Saudi Arabia and Major League Soccer are also monitoring his situation, while teams in Turkey remain in contention.
Ultimately, Bissouma’s spell in North London has not lived up to expectations, and after several inconsistent seasons, a summer exit appears inevitable. His departure would ease the club’s wage bill and give Spurs the chance to rebuild their midfield as part of a wider squad overhaul under a new permanent manager.
