Tottenham Hotspur are searching for a new manager following the defeat against Nottingham Forest at the weekend, and one of the Premier League's "best" coaches is among the targets.
Tudor under pressure after loss against Forest
Following the 3-0 defeat at home against Nottingham Forest at the weekend, Tottenham are dangerously close to the relegation zone, currently sitting just one point above 18th-place West Ham United.
Danny Murphy has suggested ENIC will have no choice but to part ways with the Croatian, saying: "I think it's impossible for him to stay. I really do. I think it's really difficult for the players to play in an environment that's so deflated and toxic.
"The only way you can change that is either winning games which they're not doing, or change a manager - what the fans want. If they keep him in charge - it's five league games without a win. A new guy comes in, gets one win, all of sudden, it can turn quickly. I think it's a risk worth taking and I think they'll take it."
The 47-year-old has made nothing short of a disastrous start to life in north London, averaging just 0.57 points per match, having won one, drawn one and lost five of his opening seven matches in charge, and the board are now scouring the market for potential replacements.
Last week, it was revealed former AS Monaco manager Adolf Hutter is one of the names on Tottenham's shortlist, but they are also identifying alternative options from within the Premier League, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Taking to X, the transfer expert stated the Lilywhites are now internally discussing a move for Fulham manager Marco Silva, who will be available without compensation when his contract at Craven Cottage expires this summer.
Ex-Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is also among the potential options, with the Italian now "open" to replacing Tudor at the end of the campaign.
Silva has won four trophies throughout his managerial career, across spells with Fulham, Sporting CP, GD Estoril Praia and Sporting CP, and he has done a stellar job in his current role.
The Portuguese manager led the Cottagers to the Premier League courtesy of winning the 2021-22 Championship title, and he has since stabilised the west London side in the top flight.
Fulham defender Calvin Bassey believes the 48-year-old has what it takes to manage one of England's top sides, describing him as "one of the best managers in the Premier League" last July.
Silva, who is the Premier League's second-longest serving manager behind Manchester City's Pep Guardiola, has earned the opportunity to test himself at a top club, and Tottenham should make a move this summer if they avoid relegation.
