Igor Tudor at risk of Tottenham sack as update emerges after Crystal Palace humiliation

Igor Tudor's future as Tottenham Hotspur boss has become the subject of speculation after the defeat to Crystal Palace

Igor Tudor’s future at Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly in doubt as a fresh update has emerged. Spurs appointed Tudor as their new caretaker manager on a deal that runs until the end of the season.

Tudor was appointed after the departure of Thomas Frank, who left the club amid their ongoing disappointing form in the Premier League, despite reaching the last-16 of the Champions League.

A report in The Telegraph has now emerged claiming that Tottenham are now weighing up making another change of manager, having only appointed Tudor last month.

Tottenham suffered a 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Thursday night, a loss which leaves the club in 16th place in the table and just one point above the relegation zone.

It has been reported that Tottenham’s hierarchy have been left “alarmed” by the defeat to Palace, which is prompting the club to consider making another change of manager.

Despite the suggestion that a change could be imminent, the report does emphasise that Tudor is expected to remain in charge for Tottenham’s clash against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League next week.

Former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is mentioned in the report as being a contender for the Tottenham job in the summer, provided the club maintains its Premier League status.

Tudor is expected to remain in charge of Tottenham for the clash against Atletico, with a pre-match press conference expected to be held on Monday.

The interim Tottenham boss was asked about the current situation at the club after losing his third consecutive match in charge in north London.

“I don't want to speak about the club. I want to be positive,” Tudor said on Thursday after the defeat to Palace.

“I cannot tell the guys nothing in the end after this game. They gave everything. Unfortunately, we pay every detail. We pay every detail.

“If we can say that red card is a detail, there is always something to say. With all the problems we have now, missing the defenders today, missing the full-backs, these are the problems we already know. I don't want to speak about that, but we need to stay together now.

“I always repeat the same things, but it is how it is. Believing and growing. Do not make mistakes. This is the key in the end of football. Stay there, don't make mistakes. One goal, you always score. Two goals, you can score, but it's important to not make mistakes in football.

“Unfortunately, now, in this moment, we pay everything, but in return, I believe, we change everything. Still nine games to play. Still nine games to play.”
