The Lilywhites face complete boardroom chaos following another disastrous managerial sacking during this terrifying Premier League survival battle.
Igor Tudor officially left his interim head coach position on Sunday after just six weeks. The N17 faithful could have naturally assumed the board had a permanent replacement completely lined up. Their possible assumption was proven to be entirely false today. The North Londoners currently have absolutely nobody ready to take over, with only interim managers lined up.
This massive delay directly benefits the closest relegation rivals, West Ham United, and they will be momentarily relieved that Tottenham do not have a concrete option lined-up. Nuno Espirito Santo continues preparing his squad perfectly for their final seven crucial fixtures. The hierarchy completely wasted half the international break without integrating a new boss.
Journalist Ben Jacobs provided a highly concerning update, speaking on talkSPORT alongside Alex Crook. He reported that the board had internally discussed ten different managers. Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi remains the primary target, but the Italian prefers waiting until the summer before moving anywhere, particularly keen on if Tottenham survive the drop.
Monaco manager Adi Hutter and Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche represent two other strong contenders. Appointing Dyche involves significant complications, making an immediate deal incredibly difficult right now.
Tottenham Hotspur evaluate ten different managers amid desperate Premier League survival mission with West Ham just a point behind
The hierarchy remains open to appointing someone possessing strong club affinity to escape the drop. Seven familiar names complete the chaotic shortlist today. West Brom manager Ryan Mason features prominently alongside Ben Davies, who is currently unattached. Tottenham is also considering Ferencvaros manager Robbie Keane.
Chris Hughton recently managed Ghana. Harry Redknapp recently managed Birmingham City. Glenn Hoddle previously managed Wolves. Tim Sherwood previously managed Aston Villa. And all these aforementioned managers are in the probable list.
West Ham fans recently emphatically preferred Premier League survival to an England World Cup win. This proves exactly how tense this relegation dogfight feels. The North Londoners desperately need genuine leadership to survive. Securing safety dictates every single decision moving forward. Nobody here wants disastrous Championship football anymore.
