'A season of bad calls': Tottenham Supporters' Trust issue verdict on Igor Tudor exit with clear message

Spurs have been tasked to make an appointment to bring enjoyment to a ‘long suffering fanbase’

Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust (THST) have outlined the perfect replacement for Igor Tudor.

Tottenham confirmed on Sunday that they had parted company with Tudor by mutual consent, despite only appointing the former Juventus and Marseille boss as interim head coach in February.

The Croat leaves the club following last weekend’s abject 3-0 home defeat by relegation rivals Nottingham Forest that left them sitting 17th, only one place and a solitary point above the Premier League’s bottom three.

During his short spell in north London, Tudor oversaw one win in seven games in all competitions. That was a Champions League last-16 second leg victory over Atletico Madrid, though it was not enough for progression to the quarter-finals.

Tudor’s record in the Premier League stood at four defeats in five matches, including three London derby losses in a row against bitter rivals Arsenal, Fulham and Crystal Palace.

Spurs have confirmed that ‘an update on a new Head Coach will be provided in due course’, but Sean Dyche has emerged as the early front-runner to ensure Premier League survival is secured during the final seven games of the season.

Taking to social media to thank Tudor and his coaching staff, the THST have urged the club to make a ‘wise choice’ with regards to the next managerial appointment amid ‘a season of bad calls’.

A statement reads: "With thanks to Igor and his team for their efforts, and wishing him and his family time to come to terms with their loss.

"In a season of bad calls, let’s hope we now see a wise choice for the remainder of the campaign.

"Someone who understands the club and is up to the task in front of them: retaining our Premier League status.

“Someone we can all be proud of and who can bring some much needed success and enjoyment to our long suffering fanbase."

Bruno Saltor will lead training for the players not currently away on international duty and Spurs plan to appoint a new head coach in the coming days, so someone is in place for when the players return from international duty.

That would give the new manager around 10 days to prepare for their next game away at Sunderland on April 12.

Roberto De Zerbi, Mauricio Pochettino and Andoni Iraola would all be in the frame for the permanent head coach position in the summer, if Spurs are still in the Premier League.
