Tottenham Hotspur are considering turning to a coach who knows the club very well as they contemplate calling time on Igor Tudor.
Over the last few days, reports have suggested that Spurs are considering all their options on Tudor’s future after he presided over three consecutive defeats in London derbies.
It has been suggested that Tottenham could sack the Croatian coach after this Sunday’s clash against Liverpool if there is no improvement in performances or results.
This is because Spurs see the clash against Nottingham Forest at home next week as the one that could define whether they stay up or go down this season.
Tottenham could replace Igor Tudor with Ryan Mason
Football Insider are now reporting that the Spurs interim head coach is under pressure and faces a ‘crucial couple of weeks’ which may dictate whether he gets the sack.
The Lilywhites are willing to turn to another short-term appointment if they pull the trigger on the Croatian.
Ryan Mason, who departed from his role as Tottenham assistant coach to take the top job at West Brom last summer, is the ‘likely candidate’ to take over the reins.
The report reveals that Mason, who was sacked by the Baggies back in January, is seen as a ‘good fit’ internally at the club, and he could return to N17 for his third stint as interim boss.
Former Spurs managers have expressed a keenness to return
Harry Redknapp has thrown his hat into the ring for the job, and his return may be welcomed by parts of the Tottenham fan base, given the fond memories he gave the supporters during his time at White Hart Lane.
Some pundits have suggested that Spurs should turn to Glenn Hoddle even though the legendary midfielder has not managed at the highest level for well over two decades.
Meanwhile, Tim Sherwood has admitted that it would be ‘impossible’ for him to turn down the Tottenham interim job if it is offered to him once again.
