Tottenham Hotspur have sacked Igor Tudor and will need a new manager to fill the gap as soon as possible.
Tottenham Hotspur are once again searching for stability after the brief and turbulent tenure of Igor Tudor came to an end. The Croatian lasted just 44 days, overseeing seven matches that yielded only one Premier League point and left Tottenham hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone.
What was meant to be a steadying interim appointment instead deepened the crisis. Tottenham now sit 17th, just one point above danger, with their relegation probability reportedly jumping sharply during Tudor’s spell. A return of one win, one draw and five defeats, alongside 20 goals conceded, highlighted the scale of the defensive and structural problems.
Heavy defeats, including a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest and a 4-1 setback against rivals Arsenal, ultimately sealed Tudor’s fate. Tottenham now need not just a new coach, but someone capable of immediately stabilising results and restoring confidence within a fractured squad.

One of the most pragmatic options is Sean Dyche. Known for organising teams defensively and guiding clubs through relegation battles, Dyche’s survival-focused approach could appeal in the short term. The trade-off, however, would be sacrificing style for results, a compromise Tottenham have historically struggled to accept.
On the opposite end of the spectrum sits Roberto De Zerbi. His progressive, possession-heavy philosophy impressed during his time in England, but implementing such a complex system mid-crisis could prove risky. De Zerbi may be more suited to a long-term rebuild rather than an emergency rescue mission.
Marco Silva offers a middle-ground solution. His tactical flexibility and calm management style could help steady Tottenham, although his track record suggests gradual improvement rather than an instant turnaround, something Spurs may not have time to wait for.
Another outsider is Adi Hütter, whose teams favour structured pressing and quick transitions. However, his lack of Premier League experience raises doubts about whether he could quickly adapt to the league’s intensity in a high-pressure survival fight.

Some supporters have also floated the idea of a Tottenham man, with names like Harry Redknapp, Tim Sherwood and Glenn Hoddle mentioned.
Hovering over the entire situation is Mauricio Pochettino, widely viewed as a preferred long-term appointment. That complicates Tottenham’s decision, as the club must now find a caretaker capable of securing Premier League survival until a permanent vision is installed, a choice that could define whether Spurs end the season in relief or face a historic relegation scare
