Tudor's Tottenham future remains unclear despite draw at Liverpool

[p]With a depleted squad at Anfield, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/tudor-igor/Qu12kvXf/"]Tudor[/a] guided [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/tottenham/UDg08Ohm/"]Spurs[/a] to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/liverpool-lId4TMwf/tottenham-UDg08Ohm/?mid=dtZvdoAa"]a 1-1 draw[/a] that keeps them one point clear of the relegation zone.[/p][p]Sources have confirmed that internal discussions about potential managerial candidates have been ongoing since the club’s Champions League defeat to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/atl-madrid/jaarqpLQ/"]Atletico Madrid[/a].[/p][p]It may be that the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/liverpool/lId4TMwf/"]Liverpool[/a] draw now gives Tudor a further stay of execution, but the situation is clouded and remains uncertain.[/p][embed guid="3b2a2f24-3558-4023-b8e7-e97497524dc8" url="https://x.com/SpursOfficial/status/2033275836166508739" social-type="twitter" /][p][b]Various candidates have been considered and one intriguing option they have been looking at is [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/de-zerbi-roberto/pYizckpN/"]Roberto De Zerbi[/a], who has shown some interest in the Tottenham job but would likely seek a genuine long-term commitment.[/b][/p][p]At this stage, Spurs’ preference has been to appoint an interim manager to guide the team through to the end of the season.[/p][p]If they can survive the relegation battle and reach the summer, the club could revisit the possibility of bringing Mauricio Pochettino back.[/p][p]That is generally considered the dream scenario both inside the boardroom and among the fanbase.[/p][p]However, De Zerbi’s situation adds a layer of complexity.[/p][p]The Italian is one of the most attractive managers currently available, after leaving [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/marseille/SblU3Hee/"]Marseille[/a] recently. He remains highly regarded across European football and has Premier League experience from his time at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/brighton/2XrRecc3/"]Brighton & Hove Albion[/a].[/p][image alt="Bottom of the Premier League" id="b020d147-b0d9-4ffa-ab83-ae8aca74b461" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="9d5ab4c8-9ca0-451c-a940-9405a23dc9f5" original-width="1200" original-height="1200" /][p]Yet convincing him to accept a short-term role until the end of the season could prove difficult. De Zerbi has also been considered for other positions, with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/manchester-united/ppjDR086/"]Manchester United[/a] reportedly including him on a shortlist of potential candidates alongside Michael Carrick.[/p][p][b]Other names mooted for Spurs include Ryan Mason, Harry Redknapp, Tim Sherwood and Sean Dyche but it is believed surprise names beyond those have also been discussed.[/b][/p][p]Had Spurs lost to Liverpool, the ideal plan had been to replace Tudor early this week. After the draw, however, it may alter the situation.[/p][p]Sources have told Flashscore that Tudor will probably continue in the job for now, but that he certainly has no guarantees over ending the season.[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/atl-madrid-jaarqpLQ/tottenham-UDg08Ohm/?mid=r3DQf78K"]Tottenham’s next match comes on Wednesday[/a] at home to Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League tie, followed by a crucial Premier League game against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/nottingham/UsushcZr/"]Nottingham Forest[/a] next weekend.[/p][image alt="Flashscore" id="0f685dd0-10a2-43d8-9966-361f00f7203c" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="dc789ac2-eaf2-4f2a-a6c2-1c4019f282c0" original-width="1200" original-height="380" /]
