Sean Dyche and the former Brighton manager are early favourites to replace Igor Tudor, after Tottenham sack the Croatian just six weeks into his spell.
The revolving door at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been spinning at a dizzying rate this season, and it has come around again. Igor Tudor has left Spurs by mutual consent after just six weeks in the job, the club confirmed today. The Croatian becomes the latest casualty of one of the most chaotic managerial merry-go-rounds in Premier League history and leaves the club staring into the abyss of relegation with the season entering its final stretch.
Tudor oversaw just seven games in charge, taking one point from his five Premier League matches. He also presided over a 7-5 aggregate defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last 16, with Spurs winning the second leg 3-2 at home but unable to overturn the damage done in the first. His final game was a 3-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest, which leaves Spurs just one point and one place above the Premier League relegation zone.
The club's statement confirmed that Tudor, goalkeeping coach Tomislav Rogic and physical coach Riccardo Ragnacci have all left by mutual consent, thanking them "for their efforts during the past six weeks, in which they worked tirelessly."
With survival the only priority between now and May, Spurs need to move fast. The bookmakers already have their say. Here is the full breakdown of the next Tottenham manager odds.
Who Is The Betting Favourite To Replace Igor Tudor As Next Tottenham Manager?
Sean Dyche is marginally the betting favourite to replace Igor Tudor as next Tottenham manager. Latest odds give Dyche a 40% chance of replacing the Croatian at the North London Club. However, former Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi is also priced similarly.

The case for Sean Dyche is straightforward. He boasts a strong record in relegation battles and is available immediately, having been sacked by Nottingham Forest in February. The argument against him is aesthetic rather than practical. Spurs fans have endured a season of dire, uninspiring football, and Dyche's brand of direct, defensive solidity is unlikely to set pulses racing.
But with the club one bad run from dropping into the Championship, the romantic notion of attractive football may have to wait. Dyche gets clubs safe. Right now, that might be exactly what the Spurs need.
Roberto De Zerbi is a name that the Spurs hierarchy has long coveted, and the market reflects that. Best known for guiding Brighton to the Europa League, the Italian has a track record of instant success wherever he goes and appears to be the best option for Spurs if they can persuade him to cut his break short, having departed Marseille around the same time Thomas Frank was dismissed earlier in the season.
Fulham boss Marco Silva is also a contender at 7/2. Silva is out of contract at Craven Cottage in the summer and is yet to renew his deal, making him an increasingly realistic option. His work at Fulham has been genuinely impressive, consistently organising limited resources into a cohesive, well-drilled Premier League outfit.
Former Monaco manager Adi Hutter had been strongly linked with the role earlier in the week, with the Telegraph reporting that Tottenham had made contingency plans to replace Tudor with the Austrian. Hutter spent two full seasons at Monaco, guiding them to second and third place in Ligue 1 before being sacked in October after a poor run of early-season form, a decision widely considered extremely harsh at the time.
Former Spurs midfielder, academy graduate and coach Ryan Mason, who is unemployed after being sacked by Championship side West Brom in January, is priced at 10/1. Mason has managed Spurs on an interim basis before and is a figure trusted within the walls of Hotspur Way. Whether the club want a temporary bridge or a longer-term solution will determine whether his name moves up the market in the coming days.
Tudor Out, Crisis Deepens: Can Anyone Save Tottenham's Season?
Igor Tudor is gone. Six weeks, seven games, just one Premier League point and a 7-5 aggregate collapse to Atlético Madrid later, Tottenham Hotspur have made yet another ruthless call. The Croatian now joins a growing list of managers who have come and gone without ever truly solving Spurs’ deeper issues.
The reality is, this decision changes very little. Tottenham’s problems are structural, not situational. Tudor walked into a side already struggling and leaves it in a far more precarious position. One place above the relegation zone, no league win in 2026, and a squad that has looked short on belief, cohesion and urgency for months. This is not a team undone by one manager. This is a team in crisis.
Now the focus shifts to the next appointment, with names like Sean Dyche and Roberto De Zerbi already being mentioned. Whether Spurs go for survival pragmatism or a more progressive rebuild, the brief will be the same. Stabilise the team, pick up results, and somehow steer clear of disaster.
With eight games left, there is no margin for error. Tottenham need an immediate response, a lift in performances, and most importantly, points on the board. Anything less could drag them deeper into trouble. At a club that has rarely made life easy for itself, the pressure is only going to intensify from here.
