Igor Tudor’s tumultuous tenure as Tottenham Hotspur manager has come to an end.<\/div>\n
The Croatian manager may have only been in charge of seven games, but he oversaw five disastrous defeats, with his only win coming as part of a two-legged exit from the UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\n
His reign got off to a bad start, with Spurs suffering a morale-crushing 4\u20131 defeat against rivals Arsenal.<\/div>\n
Things got even worse for the north London club in March, when they lost 2-1 to Fulham and 3-1 to Crystal Palace.<\/div>\n
Tudor’s team set a new record on March 10, falling 4-0 down within the first 22 minutes and ultimately losing 5-2 to La Liga giants Atl\u00e9tico Madrid.<\/div>\n
A respectable 1-1 draw with Liverpool followed, and a second leg win over Atl\u00e9tico was in vain.<\/div>\n
But then came the straw that broke the camel’s back. They lost 3-0 at home to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest. <\/div>\n
However, the club must struggle and is in dire need of a manager who can help secure their stay in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
With that in mind, here are the runners and riders who will be in the race to replace Tudor as Spurs manager.<\/p>\n

Mauricio Pochettino<\/h2>\n
Mauricio Pochettino watched eerily from the stands as his former team collapsed in the Spanish capital during the UEFA Champions League match against Atl\u00e9tico.<\/div>\n
The 54-year-old may currently be coaching the U.S. national team, but he has been linked with a move to the Spurs several times this season.<\/p>\n
During his last spell, he transformed the club from a perennial underachiever to a Champions League finalist.<\/p>\n
However, Spurs fans may have to wait for his arrival due to the FIFA World Cup at the end of the season, when Pochettino is scheduled to coach the co-hosts.<\/div>\n

Sean Dyche<\/h2>\n
If there’s one thing Sean Dyche knows, it’s how to keep a team in the Premier League.<\/div>\n
The former Burnley, Everton and Nottingham Forest manager has a reputation for crisis management and that is exactly what Spurs need right now.<\/p>\n
However, Dyche’s pragmatic style of play runs counter to the DNA most fans expect from the club.<\/p>\n
Dyche’s reputation as a long-ball specialist could work against him from day one.<\/p>\n
roberto de zerbi<\/h2>\n
Roberto de Zerbi impressed at Brighton & Hove Albion and, although he failed to steal a spot in French football’s top team from Paris Saint-Germain, he assembled a talented squad at Marseille.<\/p>\n
There was a time when he was one of the most coveted managers in the world and his appealing style of play could prove popular at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n

But there is a sense that de Zerbi is introducing an element of confusion. Is that really what the Spurs need right now? <\/p>\n
That would be a big risk, but there could also be an even bigger reward if they decide to use De Zerbi.<\/p>\n
robbie keene<\/h2>\n
Robbie Keane carved his name into Spurs legend through his two successful spells with the club between 2002 and 2011.<\/p>\n
He is currently testing his skills as a manager and has given good reviews as manager of Hungarian side Ferencvaros.<\/p>\n
Keane’s side have reached the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League and are top of the Hungarian first division, NB I.<\/p>\n
He would also be a popular choice among Spurs fans looking for a manager with familiarity with the club.<\/p>\n

ryan mason<\/h2>\n
The Spurs have turned to Ryan Mason to get out of sticky situations before, and they could do it again.<\/p>\n
Mason served as the club’s interim manager in both 2021 and 2023 and was not disgraced on both occasions, securing seventh place in the 2020\/21 season and eighth in 2022\/23.<\/p>\n
However, he struggled to take charge of West Bromwich Albion earlier this season and was sacked after just seven months.<\/p>\n
harry redknapp<\/h2>\n
Harry Redknapp will become another favorite among Spurs’ die-hard fans after helping the club reach the Champions League with an iconic line-up in 2009\/10.<\/p>\n
He also has extensive experience fighting relegation from his time at Queens Park Rangers, Portsmouth and West Ham United.<\/p>\n
However, Redknapp stepped down from management in 2017 and has spent more time at the racecourse than in the dugout in recent years.<\/p>\n
It may be a popular choice, but is it a wise choice?<\/p>\n
