Tottenham consider appointing Glenn Hoddle as interim manager | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur decided to part ways with Igor Tudor following an underwhelming 44 days in charge of the North London outfit.

Spurs are now searching for a new manager to handle the club for the final seven league games of the season.

According to the Daily Mail, Glenn Hoddle has emerged as a genuine candidate despite not managing for nearly 20 years. It is an option Tottenham are considering.

Tottenham are treading treacherous waters now, with the Europa League champions sat in 17th place on the Premier League table.

Spurs sit dangerously above the relegation zone, and rivals for the drop are in better form. That desperation has forced the club’s hierarchy to consider Hoddle.

The Spurs legend served as the club’s manager between 2001 and 2003 after an illustrious playing career in North London.

The 68-year-old’s next job at Wolverhampton Wanderers proved to be his last.

His managerial stint at Spurs started well the first two seasons but ultimately disappointed. Following a slow start to the 2002/03 campaign, the club dismissed him.

Turning to Hoddle now is the kind of short-sighted call that has come to define Tottenham’s decision-making in recent years.

His name carries emotional weight, but this is not a sentimental moment. It is a fight for survival.

Throwing a manager who has been out of the game for nearly two decades into a relegation scrap borders on reckless.

Spurs need clarity, structure, and modern tactical acumen, not a romantic throwback.

The Premier League has evolved drastically, and the margins at the bottom are brutally fine. This is not a job for sentiment.

If anything, Tottenham should be accelerating their pursuit of Roberto De Zerbi right now, not waiting until the summer.

He represents a clear philosophy, a progressive identity, and the kind of coaching detail Spurs desperately lack.

Anything else feels like another costly misstep, and this club can ill afford one now.
