Tottenham Hotspur have decided on Igor Tudor’s future for now after seeing the Croat pick up his first point in charge of the Lilywhites at Anfield.
Ahead of the game against Liverpool, it appeared as if Tudor was a dead man walking, with reports suggesting that Tottenham had been speaking to other candidates over replacing the 47-year-old.
However, against all odds, the North Londoners managed to emerge with a point away at Liverpool despite heading to Merseyside with a severely depleted squad.
Tudor has insisted that the Spurs players are fully behind him, and the club have now reportedly made a decision after watching the squad show some fight on Sunday.
Igor Tudor will be in charge for Tottenham’s clash against Nottingham Forest
It has now been revealed by Football Insider that Spurs are ready to give Tudor further time to steady the ship following their draw against Liverpool.
Tottenham’s performance at Anfield is seen by their hierarchy as ‘a step in the right direction’, and they are now prepared to give their interim head coach ‘some breathing room’.
Tudor is expected to remain in charge of the Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday as well as the relegation six-pointer against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
However, sources say that the clash against Forest could still be ‘decisive’ for the former Juventus boss’s future at N17.
Will Tudor rotate his squad against Atletico Madrid?
Spurs almost need a miracle to progress to the quarterfinal of the Champions League, needing to overturn a three-goal deficit against Atletico Madrid.
Given the injuries that Tottenham are dealing with, Tudor may face some tricky decisions for Wednesday, with the Forest clash four days later being the more important game for his own future and the club.
The Croat may thus be tempted to consider resting some players for Wednesday’s game to keep them fresh for Sunday.
