Tottenham could well part company with under-fire interim boss Igor Tudor sooner rather than later, and a very intriguing name has thrown his hat into the ring.
Igor Tudor to take Liverpool press conference but Tottenham end in sight
Tudor is still in the job — but only just.
Tottenham confirmed on Wednesday that the 47-year-old will take Friday’s pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s trip to Anfield, all but ruling out an immediate sacking, but nobody at N17 is pretending everything is fine.
The numbers tell the story well enough.
Six defeats in a row. Four losses from four since Tudor took charge. 14 goals conceded in those four games alone. One point above the relegation zone. 11 Premier League games without a win and no top flight victory at all in 2026 — a club record.
The Lewis family are said to be disillusioned, while senior players are also furious.and have little faith that Tudor is the man to keep them up (The Telegraph).
Liverpool away on Sunday, then Nottingham Forest — a genuine six-pointer — the week after. Tudor’s fate could be sealed within ten days. If Spurs lose both, it is very hard to see how he survives, and many are calling for the Croatian to be sacked far before then.
So who steps in? That is the question dividing the entire fanbase.

Some information has come to light on the ‘sacking process’ at Spurs.
Reports suggest that Sean Dyche is keen on the Tottenham job after being sacked by Nottingham Forest earlier this season, while the likes of Thiago Motta and Robbie Keane are also believed to be high on Spurs’ managerial agenda.
Anoter man has been making his feelings about the potential Spurs vacancy very clear today as well.
Harry Redknapp makes Tottenham admission after Levy phone call
Harry Redknapp, the 79-year-old who managed Spurs for four years between 2008 and 2012, has never been shy about his love of the game.
And speaking on talkSPORT this morning, the ex-manager who also coached West Ham for years made it crystal clear that he may not be done yet.
Asked directly whether he would take the Tottenham job, Redknapp did not hesitate.
“Yeah, I’d do it, for sure,” he said.
“I definitely wouldn’t say no, but I don’t see myself getting it, to be true.”
Honest, characteristically self-aware, and very Harry. He knows the reality — but the desire is absolutely there.
He also revealed the name he believes should genuinely be in the running.
“Tim would be a good shout now,” Redknapp told talkSPORT.
“Tim Sherwood would be, you know, I think someone like Tim or Glenn Hoddle, even.”
The call for familiar faces is getting louder by the day. Former Spurs midfielder David Bentley has publicly backed Redknapp for a short-term role, arguing that someone who genuinely cares about the club is what this squad desperately needs right now.
Gary Lineker has made similar noises. Even Jamie O’Hara — himself a former Spurs player — has urged the club to pick up the phone to Redknapp immediately.
The backdrop to all of this also comes a remarkable revelation Redknapp shared today — that former chairman Daniel Levy got in touch with him last week.
Their first conversation in over a decade, and by all accounts Levy made clear his admiration for his old manager had not dimmed.
“I got a phone call last week from Daniel, funnily enough,” Redknapp continued.
“I think I spoke to him once since I left all that time ago, and I was in the car last week and suddenly the phone goes, it’s Daniel Levy.
“I thought ‘that’s strange’ and I was on the phone to him for about half hour, chatting to him and he was explaining what happened to him, and how he got marched out of there, which was really strange.
“And he did say to me ‘If I was there now, and I’m not just saying it, I would bring you back in until the end of the season, Harry’ – so it would have been interesting.”
Whether any of this translates into a concrete approach from Johan Lange, Vinai Venkatesham and the current ownership — Vivienne and Charles Lewis, with son-in-law Nick Beucher reportedly playing an increasingly influential role — remains to be seen.
