Tottenham look to have confirmed that Igor Tudor will not be sacked over the coming days as he is still pencilled in to hold a press conference next Tuesday.
Spurs face Atletico Madrid in a Champions League last-16 first leg the following day with Tudor seemingly set to be in the dugout despite losing his first three games in charge.
His latest defeat came on Thursday evening at the hands of Crystal Palace with it now five consecutive Premier League losses. Defeats to Fulham and Arsenal came with him at helm while Newcastle and Manchester United beat Thomas Frank's Spurs.

Failing to make an immediate impact and some baffling team selection decisions has seen Tudor come under pressure despite only being at the club for a few weeks.
However, it seems the club's hierarchy will not be making a decision on his future until at least after their upcoming game in Spain. Spurs have a free weekend to prepare for the clash having already been knocked out of the FA Cup.
Tudor faced some brutal questions following the defeat to Palace but the 47-year-old did deliver a defiant response after his side played with a man disadvantage for over 45 minutes.
He said: "I will tell you now maybe it will sound strange but I believe more after this game than I believed before. I saw something.
"I need to choose the right guys because the boat is going in the direction that I want to go and needs to go and who is in the boat can stay.
"Otherwise they can leave the boat. So when the other players will come back and choosing the right (players) I’m sure we will have a good team and the victories will come back. It’s not easy to accept the moment where we are now but it is how it is."
Tudor is seemingly of the belief he can keep Spurs in the Premier League but he may not have the chance to fulfil that objective if more disappointing results follow.
Ultimately, some of the blame should also be going on the players with former Manchester United star Patrice Evra sharing that opinion and stating that Tudor should not be dismissed.
He said: "This would make no sense, we need to stop sacking managers, sometimes the blame needs to go on the players. Igor Tudor needs to finish the season and he can save Tottenham. Then they can decide to keep him or not after this season."
