Tottenham interim head coach Igor Tudor has cleared up the viral moment where it was thought he mistakenly hugged someone thinking it was Liverpool manager Arne Slot.

Last Sunday at Anfield the 47-year-old Croatian was caught by TV cameras before their 1-1 draw seemingly mixing up Tottenham's player liaison officer Allan Dixon with Slot.

The images gained traction on social media and were used to poke fun at Tudor but, before their Premier League home game against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, he said there was no confusion at his end.

Tudor said he frequently works with Dixon, who is also the brother-in-law of ex-Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, and gave him another hug before their 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid in midweek to make light of it.

"I don't recognise the guy who I spend 10 hours with every day?! So I come out and don't know he is? It was a little bit ridiculous," Tudor told a news conference.

"Now [on Wednesday] we did it on purpose to make a joke, because from now on I call him 'Arne'. It's not Allan, it's Arne!"

Tudor said he was alerted to the incident by his family, who also thought he had accidentally confused Dixon with Slot.

He added: "What happened was my son, who is 20 years old, said in Croatia everyone is laughing with you because you did this mistake. I said, 'what mistake?' and I said to him, 'you do know who the guy is?'.

"So I said, 'it's Allan Dixon, I'm spending all days together with him', so I came out and he's standing in front of my bench. So what other coach can be there in front of it? It's my training zone.

"He was there, I came to him to make a joke. If you understand, I came from this side [Dixon's right], I touched him and go to the other side.

"When he turned I was not surprised, I was laughing. I can imagine in Croatia because maybe they don't know who Allan Dixon is."

Welcome to the disarray derby.

The Premier League's chaos clubs meet on Sunday as Tottenham Hotspur host Nottingham Forest in what could be a seismic moment in the survival battle.

Forest - who gained momentum by reaching the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday - are outside the bottom three on goal difference, Spurs just a point better off after another season of drama.

The north Londoners could be relegated for the first time in almost 50 years with interim boss Igor Tudor failing to make an impact, despite Sunday's point at Liverpool, while Forest are on their fourth head coach of the season.

At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday one club could go a long way to saving their season and edging the other towards the drop as crisis meets calamity.

Tottenham have rarely had such dark days, having finished 17th last season - albeit winning the Europa League under Ange Postecoglou.

The Australian was sacked days later and replaced by Thomas Frank who lasted eight months before leaving in February.

Despite winning the second leg, Wednesday's Champions League exit against Atletico Madrid - following the calamitous first-leg defeat last week in which goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was replaced after just 17 minutes - adds to the disfunction.

It was Tudor's first win - after three defeats and a draw - since he succeeded Frank, with his position having already been in doubt after just 34 days in charge.

Frank's arrival after Postecoglou's exit was meant to be the start of another rebuild following the Dane's impressive seven years at Brentford, but it only sowed more division amid player indiscipline, a split executive team and doubts over his tactical approach.

The Lewis family - which owns the Enic Group which holds a majority stake in Spurs - has come under fire, but group Change for Tottenham (CFT) has postponed a planned protest on Sunday, despite an "immediate generational threat" to Spurs' Premier League future, to focus on supporting the team.

"A lot of fans have truly given up," said CFT member Jay Coughlin.

"It's been horrendous. Obviously there's been a call for all Spurs fans to be the 12th man against Forest. It's something where a lot of fans want to get behind the players and it's going to be seen as negative if there's anything towards the ownership."

It comes after a meeting with the club's fan advisory board this month when chief executive Vinai Venkatesham said he had overseen a comprehensive review. The results were a damning criticism of the club's failings.

Among the key issues identified were:

Insufficient focus across the organisation regards on-pitch success

A wage structure and player transaction approach that had impacted competitiveness in the transfer market

The men's squad requiring strengthening in terms of quality, experience and leadership

Financial pressures arising from heavy transfer spending and limited player sales, increasing the relevance of Financial Fair Play (FFP) constraints to future planning

A growing disconnect between the club and its supporter base

Dan Lewindon has joined as performance director from the City Group and the club plan to appoint a director of football operations in the summer - but by then it could be too late.

Tottenham have not been out of the top flight since 1977-78 but are winless in the Premier League since December, with just two victories in their past 21 league games.

It has eroded the already fragile trust from the fanbase towards the Enic Group, which holds an 86.58% majority stake in Tottenham, with former executive chairman Daniel Levy having a 29.88% stake in the company.

Coughlin told BBC Sport: "All of them deserve the blame and all of them have to face the music come the final game of the season when we know our fate. There has to be questions answered.

"I believe the two people, Vinai Venkatesham and [sporting director] Johan Lange, should not be keeping their jobs the way they've handled being in control of such a proud, historic club. It feels like this year they've sat there and laughed in our faces.

"The belief that we will be a Premier League club is, I'm hoping, still alive - but the reality is there is no club too big to go down."

Forest's plight has been self-inflicted but there is still more unity than in north London.

Thursday's penalty shootout win at Midtjylland earned them a Europa League quarter-final tie with Porto, edging them closer to an early-season goal of winning the competition.

That was before four permanent managers this season - Nuno Espirito Santo, Postecoglou, Sean Dyche and now Vitor Pereira - which underlines the turbulent campaign at the City Ground.

Nuno fell out with global sporting director Edu and owner Evangelos Marinakis, leading to his sacking, while replacement Postecoglou lasted just 39 days.

Dyche never won over the players in his 144-day reign, leading Marinakis to recruit ex-Wolves boss Pereira in February, having worked with him at Olympiacos.

Despite the revolving door, Marinakis retains the support of the fans - in contrast to Spurs - with the club also having frozen season ticket prices.

"I'm sure the ownership - they're not stupid - will be looking at what the solutions are to the off-field problems," said James Bogue of the Nottingham Forest Supporters' Trust (NFST).

"But nobody can argue it's not been self-inflicted. Nuno didn't get the new players that he wanted and it's all fallen out from there.

"The lessons will - and must - be learned, that you've got to get everything lined up on and off the field right."

Yet this campaign should have been the platform for Forest after last season's seventh place.

They missed out on reaching the Champions League on the final day in May, then spent £180m in the summer to try to keep pace at the top.

Few have made an impact, with £26m striker Arnaud Kalimuendo shipped to Frankfurt in January, and the loans of Douglas Luiz and Oleksandr Zinchenko cancelled.

James McAtee and Dilane Bakwa, signed for a combined £60m, have made four league starts between them.

Forest could not have expected Chris Wood, who scored 20 goals last term, to miss the majority of the campaign with a knee injury, but despite the chaotic season Bogue believes fans would not change the ownership.

"Their ambition shines through," he said, with Forest having been promoted in 2022 after 23 years outside the top flight. "We love it. The ambition has taken us from the foot of the Championship to a team in Europe.

"Missteps have been made and it's a season which has fallen flat, but what do we want?

"Do we want owners who are not ambitious, who want to sit 13th and 14th, or do we want to strive higher? I'd go with the latter."

A corner turned for Spurs?

This week marked the end of the road for Tottenham in Europe but also suggested a corner may have been turned in their awful form.

After four consecutive defeats under Igor Tudor, an injury-hit Spurs side scored a last-minute equaliser against Liverpool last Sunday to earn a first point under their interim boss. That was followed by his first win in charge, a 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid.

The victory couldn't save Tottenham's European campaign but, just as with the fightback against Liverpool, it was the spirited manner of the performance that gave hope to a Spurs side that has looked beleaguered in recent times.

And against Atletico, they managed to do it in front of their own fans at home, a place where their continuing struggles have been even more sharply thrown into focus.

With their awful injury crisis also showing signs of easing, there is cause for optimism among fans.

However, Tottenham remain one of only two teams in the top four tiers of English football not to have won a league match in 2026, along with already-relegated Championship side Sheffield Wednesday.

Only three Premier League sides have had longer runs without a win from the start of a calendar year, all of whom were relegated (Sunderland in 2002-03, Derby in 2007-08 and Middlesbrough in 2016-17).

Spurs are winless in 12 Premier League games (D5, L7), their longest such run since 1935. Tudor has shown he can get a reaction out of his players, now he needs them to give them his first league victory.

Fifa rules women's teams must have female coaches

There have been some big changes announced this week for women's football.

On Thursday, world football's governing body introduced regulations that means every team in Fifa's women's tournaments must include one female head coach or assistant coach.

The requirements will come into effect during the under-17s and under-20s Women's World Cup and Women's Champions Cup competitions this year.

Under the new ruling, at least two staff members on the bench of every team at matches must be female, with one in an assistant coach or head coach role.

West Ham and Liverpool have pulled away from the relegation play-off spot, courtesy of a few positive results in recent weeks. So it is Leicester City who find themselves at the foot of the ladder with a three-point gap to the Hammers above them.

Hello!

The sun is shining and Spring is well and truly here. That can only mean one thing - we're into the business end of the season.

We've got an action-packed weekend in the Women's Super League coming up and there's still plenty to play for.

Can Manchester City afford another slip up? Is European football out of reach for Arsenal and Spurs? And can Leicester give themselves a fighting chance to avoid the relegation play-off spot?

We'll find out very soon. Let's get into it...

How would West Ham or Spurs relegation hit London?

Chris SleggLondon

Relegation for West Ham United or Tottenham Hotspur would affect staff at every level of the club as well as impacting their local communities, a former Premier League chief executive has said.

In terms of crowd size – with both averaging attendances of around 60,000 – either club would be the biggest ever to be relegated from the Premier League.

Football finance experts have forecast West Ham could lose around £100m and Spurs as much as £261m, with the repercussions being felt far and wide.

"It's really the off-pitch side that gets hurt the most," former Aston Villa chief executive Keith Wyness told BBC London.

'Brutal cuts'

Wyness arrived at Villa just after their relegation in 2016 with one of his first tasks being to decide where cuts should be made.

He said: "In the Villa case, nearly 250 people in the end had to be reduced from the payroll.

"It was brutal. A lot of the cuts came in the sponsorship and commercial revenue side, where there was less need to service some very complex deals, but you have to look at streamlining every part of the club."

Another area of concern is the charitable foundations through which Tottenham and West Ham deliver valuable work in their neighbourhoods.

Those foundations provide mentoring, education and employment opportunities, as well as engaging young people and reaching some of the most vulnerable across London.

"We made sure the foundation itself stayed as strong as possible," said Wyness. "But it had to be scaled back, there's no doubt.

"It's certain that a lot of the plans we had to grow or develop those areas had to be put on hold."

On the Tottenham High Road there are fears among some bar and café owners about a possible drop in footfall on match days.

"It is a bit of a nervous time," said Asllan Islami, general manager of the Blue Coats pub.

"We won't have those key London derbies against Arsenal and Chelsea, or those regular big matches against Manchester United, Manchester City or Liverpool."

Islami – who himself supports Spurs – is remaining optimistic, nevertheless.

"On the flip side there would be four extra home games in the Championship and if Tottenham were having a good season, I'm confident the crowds would still come."

Indeed, when Newcastle United last suffered the drop in 2015-16, their attendances rose slightly during a successful year in the Championship as they secured an immediate return to the Premier League as title-winners.

For Villa too the average crowd across their three years in the Championship fell by only around 5% on the previous three years in the Premier League.

However, neither Villa nor Newcastle were trying to fill stadiums as big as Tottenham's or West Ham's during a cost-of-living crisis.

Nor were they operating against a backdrop quite as competitive as London in terms of other sport and entertainment offerings.

"Crowds stayed pretty strong," said Wyness. "Though of course, there was absolutely no room for increasing ticket prices.

"And when it came to the top end hospitality we had to be really creative. It's much harder to try and sell those areas when you don't have the attractive Premier League fixtures every week."

He believes this is "where West Ham and Spurs have got to be careful - they can't focus on revenue streams they had built on the Premier League model.

"They've got to be realistic about it – no rose-tinted glasses. They've got to realise who they are right now. Some of those fixtures will not be so attractive."

Tottenham v Lincoln or West Ham v Stockport are potential Championship fixtures next season and would clearly be a much harder sell than Spurs v Arsenal or West Ham v Chelsea.

Currently Spurs charge fans an average of £76 for each home match, with only five clubs in Europe costing more. It's forecast that their matchday revenue of £131m across the season would plummet to around £79m in the Championship.

In an economic impact report published by Tottenham in December 2023 they claimed to generate £344m for the local economy and stated an aim to increase that to £585m by 2026-27.

They also said they supported 3,700 full-time jobs in the local area, with a target to raise that to 4,300 across the same period. Relegation would almost certainly hinder their chances of achieving those targets.

'Very worrying time'

Over in Stratford, a West Ham relegation would hit every London council taxpayer in the pocket. The Hammers are tenants at London Stadium.

Under the terms of the agreement they signed with then Mayor Boris Johnson ahead of their move to the former Olympic Stadium in 2016, their annual rent will be cut in half should they go down. That would leave them paying just £2.2m a year.

Furthermore, the running costs of the additional four home games would also have to be met by the Greater London Authority, leaving the cost to Londoners at around £2.5m a year.

Asked how off-field staff at each club will be feeling right now, Wyness said: "It's just a very worrying time.

"There will be people, especially in the present financial climate, who will be very concerned, and that will translate into their job performance.

"You've got to be getting all your consultations ready in terms of layoffs and all that sort of thing, and I'm afraid it's just not pretty but this is the time to focus and be professional."

With so much at stake beyond the confines of the pitch, the stars of Tottenham and West Ham will be playing for far more than professional pride over the next few weeks as they bid to keep their clubs in the Premier League.

Antonin Kinsky is set to start in goal for Tottenham's home Premier League game against Nottingham Forest on Sunday as first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is to have surgery on a hernia problem.

Spurs interim boss Igor Tudor controversially replaced Kinsky with Vicario in the 17th minute of their Champions League last-16 tie at Atletico Madrid on 10 March - which they lost 5-2 - after he conceded three goals.

The 23-year-old was consoled by several team-mates, including Vicario, as he made his way off the field.

The other option for Tudor is third-choice goalkeeper Brandon Austin, 27, who came through the club's youth system and has made three senior appearances.

Tottenham said Italy international Vicario will undergo "a minor procedure" next week and hope to have him fit again by April.

The club said the operation had been "timed" for the international break in order to "have as minimal impact as possible".

"Guglielmo will commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff immediately, and it is hoped that he could return to action within the next month," added a statement from Spurs.

Tudor said he thinks Dominic Solanke will be fit to face Forest: "Dom didn't train [today] but probably tomorrow he will train with the team and I think he will be available. He had a hip problem but I think he will be OK."

He added that James Maddison, who has been out since pre-season with an ACL injury, could play this season: "Yeah, Maddison is already doing some interesting things with the ball and sprinting, he is positive."

Mohammed Kudus is progressing "very well" and could be back with the squad in "10 days", while Rodrigo Bentancur is "edging closer" to a comeback, and Joao Palhinha is back in training following concussion protocols for his clash of heads with Cristian Romero in the first leg against Atletico Madrid.

On fan mood after a draw at Liverpool and win on the night against Atletico: "Beautiful sense of the togetherness with the fans. I enjoyed the sensation of us doing well on the pitch and sharing it with the fans. We need to continue all together."

He was pleased with Xavi Simons' performance against Atletico: "He himself was motivated, was good, was with the right mentality. When he's like that, his qualities come out. So his qualities connect a lot with these things I said now. It was a really beautiful surprise for me. He was inside from the first second of the game. It was nice to find in him this resource we will need in these last games we still have to play."

Tudor was asked about being charged by the FA with misconduct over his claim that referee Thomas Bramall favoured the "home team" in Spurs' 2-1 Premier League loss at Fulham, and said: "I have spoken to the club but I'm focused on the game."

On fan feeling going into such a huge game: "There's a positivity but also an understanding the game will not be easy. It is an important game but will probably not decide anything. We need just to keep going with what we did last week."

When asked what he has learned about his players that he didn't know before, Tudor said: "Nothing new."

On the challenge posed by Forest: "It's a long game to play, a few games in the game. You need to be inside from the first to last second of the game, including five subs. So a big respect to them because they have players who can hurt us, but as well, going on our sides, going on with our things, with confidence, with courage, with humbleness, with all the stuff necessary to take the points."

Seismic changes are coming at Tottenham Hotspur this summer, whether they stay up or not.

Plenty of players will move on, lots of new faces will come in, and another coach will almost certainly be in the dugout. A few members of the squad may even emerge from this adversity hardened and improved.

Archie Gray is the prime candidate for the latter. In recent weeks, when Tottenham have sunk to calamitous lows, the 20-year-old has raged against the dying of the light in north London.

Gray made his 16th European start for Spurs against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night, with only Steve Perryman making more in the club's history before the age of 21, and it was among his best performances since his £30m transfer from Leeds in 2024.

It was an all-round effort Spurs fans have grown used to. The youngster created two chances - including an assist - and won possession back a team-high nine times for Tottenham.

Despite his tender years, Gray has clearly earned Tudor's trust. He is the only player to have started every game for the Croatian, and so far that faith in the youngster is being repaid.
