Who could replace Igor Tudor as Tottenham's interim manager?

Igor Tudor's interim position at Tottenham Hotspur is under threat following the 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Spurs remain deep in relegation trouble as they approach the business end of the Premier League season and the latest setback could force the club's hierarchy into making a decision.

Here are the contenders to replace Tudor as Tottenham's interim manager.

Sean Dyche

When Tottenham beat Manchester United to win the Europa League in May 2025, fans would likely have laughed in your face if you were to tell them that Sean Dyche was being mooted as a potential candidate to take the interim job in a bid to prevent the club from being relegated to the Championship less than a year later. But that is the reality.

Dyche is no stranger to relegation battles in the top flight, keeping Burnley in the Premier League for five straight seasons and successfully battling against the drop with Everton on two occasions.

Despite his strong record when it comes to keeping teams in the top flight, Burnley, Everton and Nottingham forest have previously sacked the Kettering-born manager in the closing stages of the season.

While Dyche's style of football is often criticised, he has a knack for churning out results in difficult situations and there's few situations more difficult than Tottenham at present.

With regards to Dyche's potential appointment, it's worth noting the world interim. It's hard to imagine a world in which he is the Spurs manager beyond the end of the season, but that doesn't necessarily make him a bad coup for the here and now.

Harry Redknapp

The 79-year-old is yet to return to management since his 13-game stint with Birmingham City in 2017, where he won four, drew one and lost eight games, but there's few managers that know Spurs quite like Harry Redknapp and a short-term return may be amongst the options considered.

Redknapp enjoyed just shy of four years at White Hart Lane between 2008 and 2012, and while he was unable to deliver silverware, the club never dropped below eighth in the Premier League standings and earned qualification for the UEFA Champions League in the 2010/11 term.

Granted, Redknapp would walk into entirely different circumstance at Tottenham, but he knows the club inside out and you'd suspect the fans would instantly get behind him.

Tim Sherwood

Tim Sherwood gave a scathing assessment of Igor Tudor after the recent Crystal Palace defeat, stating that he 'looks lost at times on the touchline', but would the former Spurs player and manager be able to change the club's fortunes?

After taking the role as assistant first-team coach, Technical Director and U21 manager, Sherwood was eventually assigned first team coaching duties at Spurs, handed 18-month contract until the end of the 2014/15 season. He wouldn't last the course however, sacked at the end of the 2013/14 campaign after leading Tottenham to a respectable sixth placed finish.

It's yet to be seen as to whether Sherwood would return to management after his eight-month spell with Aston Villa concluded over 10 years ago, but he is amongst the small pool of available managers who has a deep affiliation with the club.
