Overview
- Spurs, which reports Friday said expect to agree a mutual exit with interim Igor Tudor during the international break, sit one point above the drop after a 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest.
- Roberto De Zerbi remains the preferred long-term hire, but multiple outlets report he wants to start in the summer and is reluctant to take over during a relegation battle.
- With De Zerbi holding off, The Telegraph and others say Tottenham are weighing a short-term move for Sean Dyche, and a major bookmaker cut his odds to 2/1 after the reports.
- TeamTalk and L’Equipe reporting cited by Yahoo says Tottenham have held talks with Adi Hutter for an interim role, with other familiar names also explored as contingency options.
- Three supporter groups publicly urged the club not to appoint De Zerbi, citing his past remarks about Mason Greenwood, which adds reputational pressure to the hiring decision.
