Who could replace Igor Tudor? Tottenham consider shock appointment as relegation fears grow

Tottenham Hotspur are planning a significant club revamp and have approached Dougie Freedman for a sporting director role, with Bournemouth's Tiago Pinto also a candidate.
The club is currently in crisis, teetering on relegation, and are considering Sean Dyche as a potential replacement for manager Igor Tudor.
Tudor's abrasive approach and worsening results are deemed unsuitable for the current situation, leading to an acceptance that his tenure is not working out.
Dyche, known as a 'survival specialist', is being considered for his defensive order, but is reportedly reluctant to take a short-term role and faces complications from his recent sacking at Nottingham Forest.
The need for a summer overhaul is essential regardless of the season's outcome, though relegation would significantly alter the club's plans and budget.
