Tottenham manager Igor Tudor provided a “no comment” regarding his job security following a 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid, as Spurs face a defensive crisis for Sunday’s trip to Liverpool.
Igor Tudor’s tenure at Tottenham appears to be nearing a premature end after a fourth consecutive defeat left the club reeling in 16th place.
The interim boss, who replaced Thomas Frank in February, witnessed a disastrous Champions League debut for goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, whom he substituted after just 17 minutes following two massive blunders.
When questioned about his future and whether he deserves to stay, Tudor’s blunt “no comment” fueled speculation that he could be sacked before the weekend.
The crisis deepens for the North London side as they prepare to face a high-flying Liverpool team at Anfield.
A late clash of heads between Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha has left both players in doubt under FA concussion protocols, which require a mandatory rest period.
With Micky van de Ven already suspended following a red card against Crystal Palace, Spurs could be forced to field a makeshift defense against a Reds attack that has scored 11 goals in their last three home fixtures.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are navigating their own fitness concerns but remain heavy favorites to pile further misery on the visitors.
While Arne Slot is monitoring the availability of Alisson Becker and Alexis Mac Allister, the Reds’ formidable home record—one loss in 27 against Spurs—suggests a daunting task for a Tottenham side that has lost six straight matches across all competitions.
“It looks like everything is against us,” Tudor admitted, as the club sleepwalks toward a historic relegation battle.
