Former Premier League manager Sean Dyche could be set for an immediate return to management if Tottenham Hotspur fail to steady the ship.
Igor Tudor’s position as Tottenham boss is under intense pressure after another awful night for the Croatian in the Champions League in chaotic 5-2 loss at Atletico Madrid on Tuesday (March 10).
The club confirmed Tudor is set to speak at the scheduled pre-match press conference on Friday, when his future will again be under the spotlight.
Dyche is reportedly aware of Spurs interest with the club seeing the former Burnley boss as a candidate for the role, according to the Sun.

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis made Dyche his third managerial sacking of the season as the club try avoid relegation. Dyche left the club with just two wins from the last 10 Premier League games.
However, his track record in helping steady clubs near the bottom of the Premier League with his man-management and ensuring the team is hard to beat, are reportedly seen as why he is considered a strong option by Spurs chiefs.
More records tumbled for Spurs on an extraordinary evening where young goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was withdrawn after 17 minutes due to two terrible errors.
Defeat made Tudor the first Tottenham boss to lose his first four games in charge, while the club have lost six games in a row for the first time in their history.
Tudor has only been in charge for 25 days, but refused to answer questions about his future post-match.
Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust called for “emergency action” after the huge defeat in the first leg,
“Tonight’s performance and result is a total disgrace,” a statement from THST read. “It’s symptomatic of the abysmal state of things at Spurs right now.

“From the January transfer window to the management appointments, the lack of leadership and the total absence of anyone with a Spurs pedigree informing these decisions. Where is the Daring to Do? Where are the Echoes of Glory?
“Emergency action is needed as right now we are sleepwalking off the edge of a cliff. Being a Spurs fan has never been so difficult but supporters will not sit by and watch the club continue to decline.
“At the very least those in Madrid should have their match tickets refunded. But all we really care about is that the club make us proud. We are here to support the team and be the 12th man. But we all deserve so much more.”
