Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a hint over the position of former Burnley and Everton manager Sean Dyche with the 54-year-old touted as a possible replacement for Igor Tudor.
Results at Spurs have somehow gone from bad to worse under the Croatian. Defeats in the Premier League against Arsenal, Fulham and Crystal Palace were made even more miserable after a 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Tottenham sit 16th in the Premier League and just one point off the drop zone with serious questions being asked as to whether Tudor has what it takes to lead a relegation dogfight. Should Spurs look for another managerial change, Dyche is one name heavily linked.
The ex Burnley man has earned a reputation as a survival specialist but the sinking ship at Spurs may not prove all that tempting for the manager. Transfer specialist Pete O’Rourke took to social media platform X on Thursday and wrote: “Sean Dyche is thought to be unwilling to take the role of Tottenham boss if they axe Igor Tudor. Spurs have been strongly rumoured to be interested in Dyche due to his proven track record in handling difficult situations and dealing with the challenges of survival battles.”
Sean Dyche confirms ‘top level’ offers since Nottingham Forest sacking
Dyche was sacked by Nottingham Forest in February after just four months in the job, having taken over from Ange Postecoglou. Forest then appointed Vitor Pereira as their fourth head coach of the campaign.
Dyche has since confirmed approaches for his services since leaving the City Ground but has not named specific clubs. Asked about his future plans on The Football Boardroom podcast, he said: "I know what I am. I could branch off this minute now and do what you're doing now and be quite happy. "You know, I've done my bit so if I do more, great. If I don't do more, I won't be crying over it. I won't be, you know, but you're left with this moment or that moment.
"Okay, yeah, not bothered about that. I've given my lot, I always do. So I've got no problem with that. So if I choose to step away, it will be my choice. It won't be because no one will employ me.
"I could certainly, I've had offers already by the way, so that's not a problem. Top level [offers] but the point is, you go, 'Do I need that? Do I want to make a decision? Not at the moment.'"
