With around two weeks before they make their Premier League return, one Tottenham Hotspur insider has confirmed when Igor Tudor is likely to be sacked.
Tottenham willing to appoint Dyche
The situation has never been more urgent than it is now at Tottenham. The Lilywhites are just one point above the dropzone with seven games left to play. They remain without a league win in 2026 and just suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of relegation rivals Nottingham Forest.
Something simply has to change and those in North London seem to be well aware. Recent reports claimed earlier this week that Tottenham are now willing to turn to survival specialist Sean Dyche whilst Roberto De Zerbi continues to push for a summer arrival.
According to Dyche, however, there is nothing in the links as of yet. He told talkSPORT: "When you’re a manager you know you’re going to get asked these questions at some point.
"When you get asked them you try to be respectful. Tottenham are a brilliant club and a massive club, so when you say ‘I’m flattered’ everyone then goes ‘he hasn’t said no!’"
Whether that changes before the end of the international break remains to be seen. But even if it's not Dyche, it seems as though Spurs are ready to make a decision regarding Tudor's future.
The Croatian has won one game in what has been a disastrous tenure and a club insider has now shared when he's likely to leave the club.
According to Tottenham insider John Wenham, Tottenham are most "likely" to sack Tudor on Monday to give their next manager enough time to settle into the job before the Premier League returns.
"Tottenham are dealing with it appropriately and delicately, and it’s not about sacking somebody in the week of their father having their funeral and the sad loss and grief that he’ll be going through.
"It does seem like, from the media reports, that one, Tudor is definitely going to be relieved of his duties, and secondly, it’s likely to happen on Monday, thus giving two clear weeks until we play that fixture at Sunderland, which would give a new manager time to come in and work with the players."

Tottenham are approaching the situation with delecacy, as Wehmam points out, following the death of Tudor's father on the day of the Nottingham Forest defeat.
A decision is "definitely" set to be made, however, and if Wenham is right then the interim boss will be heading for the exit door at the start of next week.
With seven games to go, it will leave Spurs without a manager and just a point above the relegation zone.
