Glenn Hoddle, Harry Redknapp, Tim Sherwood: Next Tottenham manager update
Igor Tudor is facing growing pressure on his position as Tottenham Hotspur manager and now has potential replacement lining up to step into the role.
Among those interested in the position are three former Spurs managers, Glenn Hoddle, Harry Redknapp and Tim Sherwood, all of whom have publicly staked their claim.
Former scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Tottenham could be persuaded to go with an experienced option rather than sticking with Tudor.
Bringing in somebody who knows the club and has a pre-existing relationship with the supporters may be the key to galvanising the club in the coming weeks.
They are currently sitting just one point above the relegation zone, with Tudor brought in on a short-term basis, but Tottenham could be forced into a change of manager already.

Brown told Football Insider on 5 March that Sam Allardyce could be a contender for Tottenham as they look towards tried and tested Premier League managers.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and with managers queuing up in an attempt to drive the club towards safety, they could be pushed into a decision.
“There’s no shortage of people putting themselves forward,” Brown told Football Insider.
“Glenn Hoddle has said he’d take on the job, Harry Redknapp has said he would be open to it, and Tim Sherwood has said the exact same thing as well.
“I’m surprised that they didn’t go with an experienced option before in terms of knowing the Premier League and how to get out of this type of situation.
“The benefit of having people like that, experienced managers who have been there before, is they know the club and they know the fans.
“It’s easy to get people on their side and pulling in the right direction when you don’t immediately have fans questioning why you’ve been brought in.
“Tottenham need a boost because at the moment they look hopeless, would somebody like Hoddle, Redknapp or Sherwood provide that? It‘s possible.
“But given the job Tudor is doing so far, I don’t think they could do much worse.”
Could Tottenham be forced to sack Igor Tudor?
Tudor’s position at Spurs is growing increasingly uncertain as he has failed to win any of his three games in charge since replacing Thomas Frank.
Spurs’ 3-1 defeat against Crystal Palace in a week where West Ham and Nottingham Forest both picked up points means they are just one point above the relegation zone.
Football Insider revealed on 6 March that Tottenham could be forced to sack Tudor and may have no choice as they drop towards the relegation zone.
Results on the pitch as well as some damning press conference quotes from the boss have seen patience grow thin, and he could soon be moved on.
With growing interest from potential replacements, Spurs are being tempted towards making a change in a last-ditch attempt to save their season.
