Tottenham Hotspur are searching for a new manager after Igor Tudor left the club following just 44 days in charge. The Croatian was appointed earlier this year to replace Thomas Frank, but his tenure proved even shorter, leaving Spurs deep in relegation trouble with seven games remaining.
The international break gives the club time to consider options, with both long-term and interim appointments being discussed. Among the leading candidates is former Brighton and Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi, who is Spurs' preferred choice for a permanent role. However, De Zerbi has indicated he only wants to take over in the summer, and some supporter groups have reacted coolly to the prospect.
Other names in the frame include Austrian coach Adi Hutter, who has been out of work since leaving Monaco in October. Reports suggest talks have already taken place between Spurs and Hutter. Former Burnley, Everton and Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche has also been linked, though he recently played down the possibility. Ryan Mason, who previously managed Spurs on an interim basis, is another option, as is former Spurs striker Robbie Keane, currently impressing with Ferencvaros.
