Tottenham are reportedly considering Sean Dyche as a potential replacement for Igor Tudor as Spurs battle relegation from the Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur are reported to be formulating contingency plans to appoint Sean Dyche as their manager for the remainder of the season. The development emerges amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding Igor Tudor's future at the club, following his appointment on an interim basis through to the end of the current campaign.

Spurs presently sit in 17th position in the Premier League standings and are merely one point clear of the relegation zone with just nine fixtures remaining.

Consequently, speculation has mounted that Tottenham might contemplate another managerial change before the season concludes.

Dyche has previously been linked with the managerial vacancy at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and a new update indicates that interest in the former Everton and Burnley manager could persist, reports the Mirror.

According to The Telegraph, Tottenham have identified Dyche as a potential option to assume control of the club on a temporary basis through to the end of the season.

The report suggests that Spurs could look to appoint Dyche should their primary target for the position, Roberto De Zerbi, decline to accept the role until the summer.

Dyche was most recently in charge of Nottingham Forest before his exit in February, and has considerable experience of steering multiple clubs clear of Premier League relegation, including Everton and Burnley.

De Zerbi's most recent role was at the helm of Marseille, and he has been linked with a Premier League return since his exit from the Ligue 1 outfit last month.

In addition to being linked with the Tottenham managerial position, De Zerbi has also been named as a potential long-term successor at Manchester United this summer.

Reports suggest that Tottenham are identifying possible managerial candidates should Tudor depart the club before Spurs' next match.

The report further claims that Tottenham will finalise their decision regarding Tudor's future on Monday, although it remains unclear whether this will result in his departure.

Tudor's father passed away last weekend with the Tottenham boss informed shortly after the 3-0 defeat to Forest on Sunday.

Tottenham are not due to return to action until April 12, when they journey to the Stadium of Light to take on Sunderland in an attempt to distance themselves from the relegation zone.

Spurs have seven Premier League fixtures remaining this season and could find themselves in the drop zone by the time they face Sunderland, should West Ham triumph over Wolves on April 10.
