Tottenham Hotspur legend Robbie Keane has become the leading candidate to replace interim manager Igor Tudor as the club battles to avoid a catastrophic relegation from the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly preparing to dismiss interim manager Igor Tudor following a disastrous four-game tenure that has left the club 16th in the table.
Tudor, who replaced Thomas Frank just one month ago, has overseen a club-record run of six consecutive defeats in all competitions.
Club legend Robbie Keane, currently managing Ferencvaros, has emerged as the frontrunner to take over. While Keane desires a long-term contract, he is reportedly willing to step in immediately to guide his former side to safety.
The potential appointment is seen as a major boost for striker Dominic Solanke, who has scored six goals in 15 appearances this term despite the team’s creative struggles.
Keane’s “adaptable” tactical approach and focus on aggressive attacking play are viewed as the ideal remedy for a Spurs side currently possessing one of the lowest xG totals in the division.
With a crucial relegation six-pointer against Nottingham Forest looming on March 22, the board is under immense pressure to finalize a leadership change before the drop zone consumes them.
