According to Football Insider, Tottenham could consider this current international break as the ‘perfect opportunity’ to sack Igor Tudor. The Croatian tactician, who is currently in an interim role at Spurs, has failed to achieve the desired results, and the latest loss to Nottingham Forest has probably tipped the odds.
Igor Tudor was brought in as a replacement for Thomas Frank on an interim basis to help Tottenham rise in the standings and avoid any talk of relegation. Instead, the Croatian tactician has propelled the club into further chaos following a string of unimpressive results.
The loss to Nottingham Forest at home on Sunday has likely tipped the scales towards a potential sack, something Tottenham had been considering for a while. Tudor has earned just a single point from his five games in charge of the club in the Premier League, as the most recent loss has pushed them to 17th on the table.
Tottenham could view this current international break as the ‘perfect opportunity’ to sack Igor Tudor and evaluate their options ahead. There is plenty of time for them to seek a new manager, either on an interim basis or in a permanent capacity, but there are complications in achieving either.
There are links to Ryan Mason as an option, while there have been loose talks about Glenn Hoddle or Harry Redknapp returning to action following a long spell out of the game. It remains to be seen whether Spurs consider bringing in those names who have a good knowledge of the club or lean towards someone permanently, amid links to the likes of Mauricio Pochettino or former AS Monaco boss Adi Hutter.
Sacking Tudor would be a logical decision from the club, given how the performances have gone and the fact that the club are much closer to the relegation zone than anywhere else. However, should they go about their decision, there is a big question about who they bring in, as Harry Redknapp, Glenn Hoddle, or even Ryan Mason may not prove enough at this point in their season.
Then there is the question of appointing a permanent boss from the pool of those who have been linked with the job. None of those names are likely to take up the role, considering Spurs might actually suffer relegation, as a permanent appointment will only become achievable once they finish the season, which then puts a glaring question mark over their potential decision to consider sacking Igor Tudor at this moment.
