Tottenham Hotspur are already considering parting ways with manager Igor Tudor after he failed to impress in his first two games in charge, according to claims from MatchDay Central.<\/p>\n

The north London club<\/a> have suffered two defeats since the Croatian tactician took over last month and remain 16th in the Premier League table ahead of Thursday\u2019s home clash with Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

The report claims that another negative result could jeopardise Tudor\u2019s position, with the club\u2019s board growing increasingly concerned over recent performances.<\/p>\n

Tudor, who replaced sacked Thomas Frank, signed a deal until the end of the season, with Tottenham expected to appoint a new permanent manager<\/a> once the campaign concludes.<\/p>\n

According to MatchDay Central, Tudor could be sacked by Tottenham if he fails to beat Palace on Thursday, as the club are said to be \u2018running out of patience\u2019 with the Croatian manager.<\/p>\n

Spurs suffered a 4-1 home defeat to bitter rivals Arsenal in Tudor\u2019s first game in charge, before falling to a 2-1 loss against Fulham on Sunday.<\/p>\n

After the match, Tudor took aim at his own players, urging them to show \u2018more personality\u2019, and delivered a damning assessment of his side\u2019s performance at Craven Cottage:<\/p>\n

“We lack when we attack. We are lacking the quality to score the goal. We are lacking in the middle to run. We are lacking behind to stay there and suffer and not concede the goal. An amazing situation.”<\/p>\n

Tottenham\u2019s Woeful Run in Numbers<\/p>\n

\"Tottenham<\/p>\n

Tottenham\u2019s winless run has now stretched to 10 games following back-to-back defeats under Tudor.<\/p>\n

The Lilywhites\u2019 last Premier League victory came on December 28, a 1-0 win away at Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

Since the start of November, the north London side have won just twice in 19 matches and are the only team in the top flight yet to record a league victory in 2026.<\/p>\n

Spurs still hold a four-point cushion over 18th-placed West Ham and sit two points behind Nottingham Forest, whom they face on March 22.<\/p>\n

With Tottenham\u2019s next-manager shortlist reportedly including Mauricio Pochettino, Roberto De Zerbi and Robbie Keane<\/a>, we asked ChatGPT to assess the trio\u2019s suitability for the north London hotseat:<\/p>\n

Mauricio Pochettino \u2013 Proven Spurs identity with past success and strong fan support; experienced at building pressing, energetic teams, but not available until after World Cup duty with the USA.<\/p>\n

Roberto De Zerbi \u2013 Modern, possession-based coach with Premier League experience and tactical clarity, offering an attacking blueprint; would be a long-term football philosophy candidate.<\/p>\n

Robbie Keane \u2013 Club legend with strong connection to supporters and early managerial promise abroad; less experience at elite league level, more of a project to restore spirit.<\/p>\n
