Tudor Set to Survive Another Match as Spurs Weigh Up Their Options

Tottenham have decided to stick with interim boss Igor Tudor for at least one more outing, though the club remains in active deliberation over their managerial future, fresh reports suggest.

The Lilywhites find themselves in freefall following the removal of Thomas Frank last month, with little sign of improvement materialising since. Tudor's arrival as temporary replacement was meant to steady the ship until season's end, yet his credentials are already under serious scrutiny.

The Croatian's record reads like a relegation six-pointer: three consecutive defeats to Arsenal, Fulham, and Crystal Palace. Worse still, Spurs now sit just a solitary point clear of the drop zone after West Ham's 1-0 victory over Fulham on Wednesday preceded their own 3-1 hammering by Palace twenty-four hours later.

What awaits Tudor is a gauntlet of biblical proportions—a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool sandwiched around a Champions League two-legged affair against Atletico Madrid. He will shepherd the team through next Tuesday's visit to the Spanish outfit, but beyond that point, the board's patience could crumble entirely.

The Telegraph reports that Tottenham are actively "considering their options for a second managerial change within a month" as Tudor has singularly failed to elevate performances. Should they pull the trigger, a three-week window emerges between the Atletico tie and an Easter trip to Sunderland on April 12—a timeline the club views as a natural juncture to introduce fresh leadership.

Behind the scenes, conversations have apparently taken place regarding Roberto De Zerbi's availability should Tottenham secure their Premier League status. While no obvious candidate has crystallised as a ready replacement, former Spurs striker Robbie Keane is understood to harbour genuine interest in the position should the club deem Tudor unsuitable. However, Tottenham appear reluctant to engineer another managerial switcheroo mid-campaign.

TalkSPORT's own reporting maintains that Tudor will "continue as Tottenham manager for the immediate future," though the writing on the wall grows ever darker.

The broader picture remains bleak. Jamie O'Hara, a former Spurs midfielder, offered a withering assessment on air, declaring the squad "Championship players" across the board—singling out Pape Sarr, Conor Gallagher, and Mathys Tel for particular criticism. Tel, signed permanently just last season, drew particular scorn, with O'Hara questioning both the player's quality and the wisdom of making his transfer permanent.
