Igor Tudor is already fighting for his Tottenham future just three weeks on from replacing Thomas Frank at the helm.
Things have not gone to plan for the Croat since he walked through the door at Spurs last month.
Tudor has admitted that the Tottenham challenge is the hardest of his career, and so far, there have been no signs that he is capable of getting a tune out of the squad.
Calls are growing for Spurs to sack the 47-year-old, who has made some curious tactical decisions with a depleted squad at his disposal.
Tottenham could sack Igor Tudor following clash against Liverpool
TEAMtalk have now revealed that the Tottenham hierarchy ‘are preparing to remove Tudor in the near future’ in an effort to stabilise the club’s results.
With the team sitting just one point clear of the drop zone, Spurs are thought to be working through their managerial options as they look to appoint a new successor for the Croat.
The report says that Tottenham are unlikely to make an immediate decision on Tudor, with the club expected to wait until their clash at Anfield this Sunday to take a final call.
Internally at Spurs, the upcoming period is viewed as a ‘crucial’ one for the club’s hopes of securing their top-flight status.
The clash against Nottingham Forest, which comes a week after the Liverpool game, is seen as the most important for the club’s quest to stay up, and they could thus decide to make another change in the lead-up to the relegation six-pointer.
Who are Spurs considering as Igor Tudor’s replacement?
TEAMtalk say that behind the scenes, Tottenham are now carrying out ‘extensive work’ on potential candidates to replace Tudor and are working hard to identify the right man.
It is revealed that Robbie Keane is among the names under consideration, as is Roberto De Zerbi, who is admired by figures within the club.
However, it is revealed that the Italian is not thought to be enthusiastic about taking an interim role before the end of the season.
