Sean Dyche 'aware of pole position decision' over replacing Igor Tudor at Tottenham

Despite being sacked by Nottingham Forest earlier this season, Sean Dyche has been tipped to potentially replace Igor Tudor as Tottenham Hotspur interim manager

Sean Dyche is reportedly aware that Tottenham Hotspur have an interest in appointing him as their next temporary manager, should Igor Tudor be swiftly dismissed. Spurs are currently reeling from a 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League in midweek.

Tudor was appointed by Tottenham last month as their interim boss until the end of the season, and has overseen defeats in each of his four matches in charge.

As a result, there has been speculation about Tudor’s future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Dyche emerging as a potential replacement.

A report in The Sun has claimed that Dyche is aware of interest from Tottenham in potentially appointing him as a replacement for Tudor until the end of the season.

Spurs are battling to avoid relegation from the Premier League, as they currently lie in 16th place in the table and just one point above the drop zone.

Tottenham also have an uphill task to remain in the Champions League with the three-goal deficit from Atletico from the first leg.

The aforementioned report goes on to claim that Dyche is a candidate to replace Tudor at Tottenham, but the north London club would still only want to appoint the former Everton and Nottingham Forest boss on an interim basis until the end of the season.

A separate report from The Independent has claimed that Tottenham are currently considering appointing Dyche as a replacement for Tudor, whose future remains increasingly uncertain.

Spurs will face Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend, and Tudor is already expected to be in charge for the fixture after it was confirmed that the 47-year-old will speak to the media in the pre-match press conference on Friday.

Tudor was asked about his future at Tottenham and the difficulties he’s faced since taking charge of the club.

“It is not a topic for me,” Tudor said on Tuesday. “It is not about my job, it is about how to help the team. It will be always be about that.”

He added: “I recognise what we are and which problems we have. I recognise that every game, something happens. Sometimes it is very difficult to explain.

“I see also the wish of the players to do the right things. We started good, let's say. These two or three minutes, I feel it during the game.

“These things, when they happen, what I said before, in the moment where we are now, unfortunately, it is like that.

“Even these slippery things happen, it explains the moment, because they didn't do it. The pitch was the same for both teams.”
