Tottenham Poised to End Tudor Tenure as De Zerbi Leads Successor Talks

Club leaders are using the international break to choose a rescue plan that prioritizes Premier League survival.

Overview

  • Tottenham confirmed Monday that interim coach Igor Tudor’s father, Mario, had died, after he missed post-match media duties following Sunday’s 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
  • Multiple outlets report the board plans to part with Tudor within 24–48 hours by sacking or mutual consent, though the club has not announced a decision.
  • Spurs sit one point above the relegation zone and have not won a league game in 2026, a slide that makes the April 12 trip to Sunderland the first checkpoint for any change.
  • The Telegraph and others report talks with former Brighton and Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi for a permanent role, with his interest said to hinge on Spurs staying in the Premier League.
  • Coverage differs on the immediate plan, with Football Insider tipping a swift dismissal, Football365 and TEAMtalk pointing to interim options like Chris Hughton or Adi Hütter, and Football Italia suggesting De Zerbi could be fast-tracked during the break.
