After the 3–1 defeat to Crystal Palace, several reports in England indicate that Tottenham are considering dismissing interim head coach Igor Tudor, who had originally been appointed to remain in charge until the end of the season.
The Spurs are now dangerously close to the relegation zone, a situation that has triggered major concern in London. The team has struggled to find direction or a clear identity on the pitch. It is worth remembering that Tudor took charge following the dismissal of Thomas Frank, but results have not improved under the Croatian manager.
The club’s problems are not limited to on-field performances. There have also been significant developments at the institutional level. Long-time chairman Daniel Levy recently stepped down after 25 years leading the London club, a decision that generated internal instability and appears to be reflected in the team’s performances on the pitch.
To understand the scale of the crisis affecting Tottenham, one only needs to look at their recent results. Their last victory in the Premier League came in December, a 0–1 win against Crystal Palace. Since then, the team has endured a worrying run of 11 league matches without a win, dropping to 16th place in the table, just one point above the relegation zone.
As for Igor Tudor, the manager has now gone three matches without a victory since taking charge and has conceded nine goals during that short period. Tottenham have shown alarming defensive fragility and evident tactical disorganization, factors that have increased concern among both supporters and club officials.
The upcoming schedule does not look any easier. In the coming days, the Spurs will face a challenging Champions League clash against Atlético de Madrid. That will be followed by two demanding Premier League matches: an away trip to Anfield to face Liverpool, and then a home match against Nottingham Forest.
The Croatian coach faces a very difficult task: lifting the team’s morale, improving collective performance, and quickly finding solutions to the club’s sporting crisis. If he fails to reverse the situation, his time at Tottenham could be much shorter than expected.
The coming weeks will be a true test for the Spurs. The big question is whether the team can react in time or if the crisis will continue to deepen.
