Three games, three wretched defeats for Igor Tudor as manager of Tottenham Hotspur.
If you think a loss in his first match against Arsenal was bad, then think again. The match against Crystal Palace just a few days ago was arguably even worse.
Spurs took the lead through Dominic Solanke but Micky van de Ven's moment of madness saw him sent off, plunging Spurs into even deeper relegation trouble.
The fact that the word relegation is being used around the Lilywhites is remarkable. It feels like a nightmare, but it's very much a reality.
So, will the Lewis family and Co make yet another change in the dugout? Time will tell.
The latest on Spurs' hunt for a new manager
When Spurs decided to leave hiring a permanent manager until the summer, it looked like a smart decision on paper, particularly when you consider that some of their primary targets are unattainable until after the World Cup.
However, at the time they sacked Thomas Frank, it's unlikely they really thought they'd be in a relegation battle.
Well, three losses on the bounce have plunged Tudor's side into deeper bother and it would take a miracle to turn around this situation.
Would a change of manager help? Quite possibly. After that defeat to Palace, it was revealed that the Lilywhites were strongly considering a move for Robbie Keane who is currently managing Ferencvaros in Hungary.
While the Irishman would likely be another interim move, there continues to be chatter about who Frank's permanent successor may be.
Mauricio Pochettino continues to be touted and according to GIVEMESPORT, the Argentine is interested in heading back to north London. However, he has duties with the USA at their home World Cup to fulfil before he even considers moving elsewhere.
According to the Telegraph, the Lewis family have started exploring their options, with talks reportedly held with another manager. That happens to be Italian Roberto De Zerbi.
They report that 'plans for a summer appointment have been set in motion', and have held discussions with De Zerbi's camp about coming to Spurs on the proviso that they stay in the Premier League.
Why De Zerbi could be Spurs' own Mikel Arteta
There would be something romantic about either Keane or Pochettino returning to Spurs over the summer, but in De Zerbi, they'd be getting themselves an upgrade, certainly on the former.
Pochettino worked wonders at Tottenham, famously taking them to a Champions League final and would surely be the number one choice among all supporters.
Keane, however, does boast an impressive CV early into his managerial career. He has won league titles with both Ferencvaros and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel.
However, he is not De Zerbi, someone with a track record of overperforming with Brighton in the Premier League and most recently with Marseille in Ligue 1, where for a period of time they were challenging for the league crown.
De Zerbi lost his job in France just a few weeks ago after a series of damaging results left his position untenable, falling out with the squad and fans.
He's fiery, much in the same way former Spurs boss Antonio Conte is, but his style differs from your typical Italian coach. Instead, he's more like Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta, favouring possession and a high-intensity press.
In fact, De Zerbi is so much like Arteta that the Spaniard chose Marseille as the destination for Ethan Nwaneri's loan, recognising the former Brighton boss as the man to get the most out of Arsenal's exciting young player.
It also says it all that both De Zerbi and Arteta have been seen as two of the frontrunners to replace Guardiola once he finally leaves Manchester City behind.
But, what makes them so alike? Well, they're both supremely tactical coaches. While some in the game are more of a man manager, the two bosses in question prefer more of a hands-on approach.
They like to create numerical superiority in key areas, have similarly structured passing lanes, while both managers want their teams to press high and recover the ball quickly to spring an attack.
What is arguably most alike is the way they build from the back. From goal kicks, De Zerbi places his double pivot deep in an attempt to draw the opposition high up the pitch. This allows his side to play short, encouraging the opposition to press. Very regularly, the ball is worked to the outside to the full-backs, who hug a spot on the touchline.
The goalkeeper then acts as a third centre-back in possession, offering another passing option. That's identical to how Arsenal operate, with David Raya very comfortable in possession, manoeuvring the ball between the likes of William Saliba and Gabriel.
De Zerbi also loves dominating possession, much like Arteta. The theory is that if you have the ball, your opposition cannot score. At Sassuolo, his team recorded the highest possession share in Serie A in 2020/21, outlining that very fact.
Unfortunately for Spurs, it's incredibly unlikely that De Zerbi would join mid-season but he'd be a fabulous appointment come the summer if they stay in the division.
