Big boost for Tottenham! Fabrizio Romano hints a “Here We Go” is close as Lange and Venkatesham near their top coaching pick.
Igor Tudor’s turbulent tenure as Tottenham Hotspur manager has come to an end after just six weeks in charge. Following confirmation of his departure, Spurs are now racing to appoint a new head coach ahead of their Premier League meeting with Sunderland on April 12.
The North London side is currently evaluating several candidates from across Europe, with former Brighton and Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi emerging as the frontrunner. Adi Hütter, who most recently coached AS Monaco, is also among the names under consideration, while Sean Dyche has ruled himself out of contention.
Tottenham are believed to be prioritizing a data-driven recruitment approach and are keen to appoint a foreign manager capable of steering the club clear of relegation trouble. In the meantime, Bruno Saltor will oversee training sessions for players not on international duty as the club works to secure a swift appointment.
Tudor’s exit, described as a mutual agreement, followed a damaging defeat to Nottingham Forest that left Spurs hovering just above the relegation zone. The Croatian failed to register a single Premier League victory during his brief stint, making his appointment a costly misstep.
Initially, the club delayed making a decision out of respect following the death of Tudor’s father, offering public condolences. However, with no fixtures until the Sunderland clash, both parties have now agreed to part ways.
In an official statement, Tottenham confirmed Tudor’s immediate departure and revealed that his backroom staff would also be leaving. The club expressed gratitude for their efforts and extended support to Tudor and his family during their recent bereavement, adding that an announcement on a new head coach will follow soon.
The 47-year-old took over after Thomas Frank’s dismissal, inheriting a side already struggling near the foot of the table. His reign began with five consecutive defeats, though a draw against Liverpool and a Champions League win over Atletico Madrid briefly lifted spirits. However, that European success was not enough to secure progression, leaving survival in the Premier League as the club’s primary concern.
Tudor’s departure means Tottenham are now searching for their fourth manager in under a year, having also parted company with Ange Postecoglou last summer despite his Europa League triumph.
