Tottenham Hotspur brought in Igor Tudor to steady the ship after the departure of Thomas Frank, but the appointment has not gone as planned.
Igor Tudor has failed to make the desired impact, and Tottenham Hotspur are now looking to replace him with Adi Hutter.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, the North London outfit have already opened talks to appoint Hutter as the club’s next manager.
Igor Tudor and Thomas Frank: Failing to make their mark
Igor Tudor has managed seven matches for Tottenham, winning just one and drawing one. In comparison, the manager he replaced (Thomas Frank) averaged 1.29 points per game over 38 matches. The Dane picked up two wins in 17 Premier League matches before he was shown the door. He left Tottenham in 16th place in the Premier League table.
However, Tudor has not been able to get them out of that situation, failing to win a single Premier League game. So, the Croatian tactician has invited a lot of criticism, and a departure from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium may be on the cards.
Meanwhile, Adi Hutter is an experienced manager who has shown his quality across multiple leagues. He could prove to be an interesting acquisition for Tottenham. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.
The Austrian tactician has impressed with his high-intensity 4-2-3-1 approach, and Tottenham have the players to execute his style of football. Hutter can switch to a back three as well, and his tactical versatility could be a hit at the London club.
Adi Hutter has extensive experience
Hutter has managed clubs in Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and, most recently, France with AS Monaco. He helped AS Monaco push for the Ligue 1 title last season and averaged 1.77 points per game with them. Prior to that, he impressed at Eintracht Frankfurt as well, averaging 1.65 points per game. He was named the best manager in Germany in 2019, during his time at Frankfurt as well.
His experience of managing in various leagues will certainly come in handy, and he will look to prove himself in the Premier League now. Tottenham have quality players at their disposal, but they need a manager who can bring out the best in them.
