Tottenham Hotspur are entering the decisive final stretch of the Premier League campaign, but instead of pushing up the table, they are locked in a tense relegation battle.
Spurs currently sit 17th, just one point above 18th-placed West Ham United, highlighting the seriousness of their situation.
Thomas Frank endured a miserable spell during his eight months in charge, failing to lift the team into the top half of the table. His struggles ultimately led to his dismissal, leaving the club fighting for survival near the bottom. Igor Tudor was brought in roughly a month ago to steady the ship.
However, the change has not delivered the desired impact. Tudor failed to register a single Premier League win, losing four of his five matches in charge. His final game ended in a heavy 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest — a crucial clash between relegation rivals.
In the aftermath, Tottenham have confirmed that Tudor has been sacked. His tenure lasted fewer than 50 days, making it one of the shortest managerial stints in the club’s history, with only Steve Perryman, David Pleat, and Tim Sherwood having shorter spells.
With Tudor now gone, Spurs must once again search for a new manager — their third of the season. The club is expected to consider interim options rather than a permanent appointment given the urgency of their situation. Several former players have already expressed interest in stepping in as the team looks to navigate the remainder of the season.
