Tottenham target Sean Dyche and Adi Hutter amid Igor Tudor pressure
Tottenham Hotspur are considering a managerial change with Igor Tudor under severe pressure following a heavy home defeat to Nottingham Forest that leaves the club facing a relegation battle.
The north London side collapsed to a 3-0 loss against their relegation rivals on Sunday.
That dismal result leaves the struggling outfit just a single point above the Premier League drop zone.
It represents a sudden crash back to reality after a rousing Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid and a hard-fought draw at Liverpool.
Tudor faces mounting pressure
The current head coach has overseen a disastrous domestic run.
He has suffered five defeats and managed just one draw in his six league fixtures in charge.
Consequently, the Spurs hierarchy are weighing up potential replacements to salvage their top-flight status.
Dyche and Pochettino lead betting
Former Everton boss Sean Dyche has emerged as the clear bookmakers’ favourite to take the reins.
He sits marginally ahead of fan favourite Mauricio Pochettino and former Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi in the latest odds.
Former players Ryan Mason and Robbie Keane are also generating interest in the betting markets.
Meanwhile, veteran coach Harry Redknapp has publicly confirmed his eagerness to return, though a nine-year absence from management makes his appointment highly unlikely.
Hutter emerges as shock candidate
A new name gaining significant traction in recent days is former Monaco head coach Adi Hutter.
The 56-year-old Austrian has been out of work since being dismissed by the Ligue 1 side earlier this season.
Reports originating in Italy suggest the Tottenham board have identified the experienced tactician as a viable option.
