'Wrong person at wrong time' - but if not Tudor then who?

"In footballing terms, this is an absolute crisis that Tottenham are in. Just 10 months after winning the Europa League, Spurs sit one point above the relegation places with nine games remaining. While hopes of Champions League progress appear in tatters following their latest chastening defeat, it is Tottenham's Premier League situation which remains most pressing."

"Tudor, hired in part for having a positive short-term impact at the clubs he has managed, has overseen four consecutive defeats in a dismal 25-day reign since succeeding Thomas Frank on 14 February. Among the factors which led to Tudor's appointment, Tottenham admired his work improving teams on a short-term basis - including at Italian giants Juventus."

"We talk about a new manager bounce, when a new manager comes in and the players react and they get one or two results. That's what Tottenham were looking for. Former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson told BBC Radio 5 Live that Tudor was not the right appointment from the start."

Tottenham Hotspur experienced a catastrophic 5-2 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid, intensifying their crisis season. Interim manager Igor Tudor, appointed to provide short-term improvement, has instead overseen four consecutive defeats in 25 days. While Champions League progression appears impossible, the club's primary concern is avoiding relegation from the Premier League for the first time since 1977. Currently positioned one point above the relegation zone with nine matches left, Tottenham faces an unprecedented threat to their top-flight status. Tudor's appointment, based on his previous success improving teams temporarily, has failed to deliver results. Former goalkeeper Paul Robinson criticized the appointment, noting the expected managerial bounce has not materialized.
