Tottenham have reportedly held talks with former Monaco manager Adi Hutter about becoming their next manager as Igor Tudor's position appears increasingly uncertain with Spurs sitting 17th in the Premier League
Tottenham have reportedly already engaged in discussions with Adi Hutter about becoming their next manager, according to reports from France. Igor Tudor's position at the club seems uncertain, having secured just one victory since his appointment.
The Lilywhites' 3-0 thrashing by Nottingham Forest has once again cast a spotlight on Tudor's future following a promising win over Atletico Madrid. Spurs currently sit 17th in the Premier League and are merely one point ahead of rivals West Ham in the relegation zone.
Following the loss to Forest, Tudor was informed that his father, Mario, had passed away. Bruno Saltor, the Croatian's assistant, assumed his media responsibilities.
Tottenham will be mindful of his situation, but football.london understands there is a growing sentiment that a mutual agreement over an exit is now the most likely outcome. The 47 year old would then be able to concentrate on family matters, while Spurs shift their focus to the immense pressures of a relegation battle, reports Football London.
L'Equipe reports that Hutter has been approached and negotiations with the former Monaco boss have commenced. The Austrian was at the helm of the Ligue 1 club from 2023 until he was dismissed late last year.
No agreement has been finalised for the 56-year-old, who also lacks Premier League experience. However, Hutter is not the only one being linked to the job.
Roberto De Zerbi has been linked with a move to north London, while it is possible that Marco Rose or Edin Terzic are considered once again after being looked at before Tudor was appointed.
Former boss Mauricio Pochettino has also been mentioned, but the ex-Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain manager is unlikely to be available immediately. The Argentine is in charge of the United States until after the World Cup.
Pochettino has recently spoken about his affection for the Premier League, however. "I miss the football scene in England. I love the country, its culture, the football culture," Pochettino told L'Equipe.
"For anyone with a competitive spirit who wants to measure themselves against others and test their limits, it's the ideal place. Here, you have to give your best constantly."
Tottenham do not play again until April 12 when they make the trip to the Stadium of Light to face Sunderland. They have not secured victory in the Premier League this year and last defeated Crystal Palace in December.
