Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly weighing up the future of manager Igor Tudor after an underwhelming start to his tenure, according to claims from MatchDay Central.
The north London side have lost both matches since the Croatian coach took charge last month and currently sit 16th in the Premier League table ahead of Thursday’s home fixture against Crystal Palace.
The report suggests that another disappointing result could put Tudor’s job at serious risk, with the club’s hierarchy increasingly troubled by recent performances. Tudor, who succeeded the dismissed Thomas Frank, signed a short-term contract running until the end of the season. Spurs are expected to appoint a permanent manager once the campaign concludes.
Igor Tudor’s Position Under Threat
MatchDay Central claim Tudor could face the sack if Tottenham fail to overcome Palace, as patience within the club is said to be wearing thin. His reign began with a heavy 4-1 home defeat to arch-rivals Arsenal, followed by a 2-1 loss away to Fulham on Sunday.
After the Fulham defeat at Craven Cottage, Tudor openly criticised his squad, calling for greater personality and delivering a blunt verdict on their display. He highlighted deficiencies across the pitch, pointing to a lack of quality in attack, insufficient energy in midfield, and defensive frailties that have cost the team crucial goals.
Tottenham’s Struggles in Numbers
Tottenham’s winless streak has now extended to 10 matches following consecutive defeats under Tudor. Their most recent Premier League victory came on December 28, a narrow 1-0 triumph away at Crystal Palace.
Since early November, Spurs have managed just two wins in 19 games and remain the only top-flight side yet to register a league victory in 2026. Despite their poor run, they maintain a four-point cushion above 18th-placed West Ham United and trail Nottingham Forest by two points, with a meeting against Forest scheduled for March 22.
Potential Managerial Replacements
With uncertainty surrounding Tudor’s future, several names have reportedly emerged on Tottenham’s shortlist. These include former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi, and club legend Robbie Keane.
