Igor Tudor has lost all four games in charge of Tottenham and could well be fired if his side is beaten again by Liverpool, with relegation a real concern
Tottenham interim boss Igor Tudor is under increasing pressure ahead of the trip to Liverpool, with Spurs already sounding out potential replacements.
Tudor's appointment, on a deal until the end of the season, has been nothing short of disastrous with Tottenham in real danger at the bottom of the Premier League. Spurs have lost all four games under Tudor and sit just a point above the relegation zone, with West Ham closing in after the draw with Manchester City.
There was speculation that the Croatian would be fired after the Champions League shambles against Atletico Madrid but he will take charge at Anfield on Sunday.
However, he has a fight on his hands to win over the Tottenham board with another change reportedly already being considered in a desperate attempt to avoid relegation.
According to talkSPORT, as many as eight options are being considered by Spurs either on short-term deals until the end of the season, or with one eye on next term.
Former Everton boss Sean Dyche has been mooted but that could prove a tricky deal following his firing by Nottingham Forest earlier in the campaign.
There would be difficulties in appointing former boss Mauricio Pochettino too. He is believed to be open to a return to north London but is preparing for the World Cup with hosts USA this summer.
Meanwhile, former players Ryan Mason and Robbie Keane could emerge as options but the latter is currently in charge of Ferencvaros and would like a long-term deal. Ex-Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is another permanent target.
Despite the mounting pressure, Tudor maintains he is the right man for the job and doesn't believe a replacement would be able to address the problems.
"When people want a new coach, it's a new hope. People always want new hope that things will change but the reality is totally different. The reality is not that," he told Sky Sports.
"In this world where everyone has an opinion, you can never win. But as coaches we have to focus on what we can change. We need to stay calm and believe in ourselves."
"I don't feel good because we don't have results," Tudor said. "The problems are bigger than I was thinking. It is what it is and we need to accept that. We need to see it as a challenge and not cry."
