Tottenham Hotspur need to make a decision over Igor Tudor’s future immediately amid the growing threat of relegation. 

Tudor has endured a miserable spell in the Spurs dugout since replacing Thomas Frank as manager last month.

The Croatian’s only victory came in the second leg of Tottenham’s Champions League last-16 tie against Atletico Madrid, but they bowed out of the competition after losing 7-5 on aggregate.

Meanwhile, Tudor has lost four of his five Premier League games in charge, leaving the north London giants sitting 17th in the table and just one point above third-bottom West Ham.

It is understood Tottenham are considering their managerial options, with another change potentially on the cards. 

How much Tottenham could lose after Premier League relegation

There is a growing feeling Tottenham will decide to part ways with Tudor over the coming days as they look to give themselves a fighting chance of staying up. 

While Spurs have performed poorly in the Premier League over the past two campaigns, having finished 17th last season, the 3-0 defeat at home to fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest was as bad as it’s been. 

The board simply have to make a decision on Tudor’s future immediately to provide clarity for the players, staff and fans, whether that’s sticking with the Croatian or bringing another manager in. 

There is far too much at stake to be delaying any decisions, given the financial repercussions of relegation.

Finance expert Stefan Borson told Football Insider Tottenham could lose £200million in revenue if they drop down to the Championship.

Deloitte’s 2026 Money League revealed Spurs’ turnover surged from £528m in 2023-24 to £565m last season, but that number would fall significantly if relegation becomes a reality over the coming weeks.

Who could replace Igor Tudor as Tottenham manager?

There have been plenty of names thrown around as potential replacements should Tottenham decide to dismiss Tudor.

Former managers Harry Redknapp and Tim Sherwood have both thrown their hats into the ring.

Roberto De Zerbi is believed to be Spurs’ top target for the job, having left Marseille by mutual consent last month. 

Adi Hutter, whose most recent role was at Monaco last year, has also emerged as a serious candidate to take over in north London.

If Tudor is sacked over the coming days, a new manager would have time to work with the squad, with Spurs not back in action until they face Sunderland on 12 April.
