It has been reported that Tottenham may have already decided to part ways with Igor Tudor, who took over as interim manager after just four games.
The Croatian tactician has had a dismal start to life at Spurs, culminating in a disastrous performance in last night’s 5-2 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid.
According to Team Talk, Tudor’s struggles could prompt Tottenham to seriously make quick changes to the dugout, and former player and club legend Robbie Keane has reportedly contacted him about joining.

Tudor probably thought he would have a little more time, but the situation is so bad that it appears Tottenham’s board are already considering options for his replacement.
Latest information on Igor Tudor and Tottenham manager situation
TEAMtalk’s Graham Bailey provides an update on the Spurs manager’s situation, saying that Tudor appears to be in real trouble and has approached Keane about coming in to help save the club, which faces the very real threat of relegation.
“The club’s leaders are currently in talks and had decided to sign Tudor until after the second leg against Atlético… but the loss in the first leg has forced us to reconsider,” Bailey said.
He added: “As of now, the club continues to work on a potential replacement for Igor Tudor, as it did more than a week ago. “The leadership is aware that the team has not responded to Tudor as expected.”
“There has been talk about Robbie Keane, who is also a top target for Crystal Palace and has been linked with a move to Celtic in the summer.
“Spurs are considering all options and we understand that a number of agents and intermediaries have contacted Spurs regarding a potential replacement. However, Keane is our very preferred option.”
How bad could things get for Tottenham?
Tottenham are currently on a six-game losing streak and remain just one point above the relegation zone due to the team’s poor performance.
Meanwhile, last night’s heavy defeat against Spain certainly means the team can bid farewell to this season’s Champions League campaign.
There isn’t much time left for THFC to turn things around, and perhaps hiring Tudor appears to be a gamble that backfired in a big way.
But at the same time, Keane is not very experienced and may not be the best option given the seriousness of the club’s situation.
