Gary Neville has called on Tottenham to sack Igor Tudor, branding the Croatian's tenure a “car crash” after four consecutive defeats. Speaking on The Overlap's Stick to Football podcast, the former Manchester United defender described the club’s current situation as a “shambles” and urged immediate action to avoid Premier League relegation.
Neville’s remarks follow Tuesday’s 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid, where Tudor started reserve goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky only to substitute him after 17 minutes with Spurs trailing 3-0. “I thought it was brutal,” Neville said. “The whole thing is just a car crash. He doubled down in his interview instead of admitting he got it wrong.”
Ian Wright echoed Neville’s sentiments, calling Tudor “blatantly out of his depth” and comparing Kinsky’s ordeal to Loris Karius’s 2018 Champions League final nightmare. Wayne Rooney, however, reserved his harshest criticism for the Tottenham squad, accusing them of “an absolute disgrace” in attitude and desire. Roy Keane described the outcry over Kinsky’s substitution as an overreaction.
Tudor was appointed only four weeks ago following the sacking of Thomas Frank. With the team in freefall, former Tottenham striker Robbie Keane and Sean Dyche have been touted as potential replacements. Neville believes any change must happen “today or tomorrow” to salvage the season.
