Tottenham could possibly be on the hunt for his or her third manager of the season as speculation continues to mount on Igor Tudor’s future on the club.
A dismal 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest on Sunday saw Spurs fall further towards the Premier League relegation zone.
The north London club now sit only one point outside the underside three with seven games remaining within the season.
Spurs had hoped that Tudor’s arrival, following the sacking of Thomas Frank, would steer the club away from a relegation dogfight, however the Croatian’s tenure has up to now failed to offer any meaningful uplift in form.
Tottenham have picked up one point from five league matches, with their only victory coming against Atletico Madrid of their Champions League last-16 second leg.
And reports suggest that the club are considering a 3rd change within the dugout over the international break as they give the impression of being to avoid a disastrous relegation from the English top-flight.
Should Tottenham resolve to tug the plug on Tudor’s ill-fated spell in charge, the most recent odds suggest that former Brighton and Marseille Roberto De Zerbi is the favourite to be hired because the substitute.
