Tottenham Hotspur’s turbulent season has taken another dramatic turn, with the club forced into a fresh decision on the touchline after a difficult spell.
We are heading into the run-in of the Premier League season, and Tottenham Hotspur are currently embroiled in a full-on relegation scrap.
Spurs find themselves in 17th and a single point clear of 18th-place West Ham United.
Thomas Frank had an abysmal first eight months as Tottenham manager, as he struggled to get Spurs into the top half of the league table.
Frank has since been sacked, leaving Spurs battling at the wrong end of the table, with his replacement, Igor Tudor, coming in about a month ago.
Tottenham part ways with Igor Tudor
Tottenham will have hoped that Tudor’s appointment would see results turn around, but thus far that has not been the case.
The Croat remains winless in the Premier League, losing four of his five league matches in the English top flight.
MORE SPURS STORIES
He leaves with Tottenham in 17th place following their latest 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in what was a relegation six-pointer.
Following that result, Tottenham have now confirmed that Igor Tudor has been relieved of his managerial duties at Hotspur Way.
The Croat spent less than 50 days in the dugout, which is among the shortest spells in the club’s history, with Steve Perryman, David Pleat and Tim Sherwood spending fewer days.
Spurs consider interim options after Igor Tudor exit
With Tudor now gone, Spurs’ focus will turn to making yet another managerial appointment this season – their third.
The Lilywhites will not be short of options as they look for their next manager. Spurs could either go down the interim route or appoint a permanent manager.
It is unlikely the latter will be the case, given the situation Tottenham find themselves in. Should Spurs opt for an interim role, they could call on several ex-players who have put their names forward for the Tottenham job.
Harry Redknapp has already shown interest in the Spurs managerial role, alongside Tim Sherwood, who has stated he is open to taking the Spurs role on an interim basis.
