Tottenham hold talks with ex-Bundesliga manager as new candidate emerges amid Igor Tudor uncertainty

TottenhamHotspur are reportedly considering former Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Mönchengladbach manager Adi Hütter as a leading candidate for their managerial vacancy. The club is in a period of significant instability on and off the field following a series of poor results. The 56-year-old Austrian, who has been out of work since leaving Monaco in October 2025, is highly regarded by the Spurs board for his past successes in the Bundesliga.

While some reports suggest formal negotiations are underway, others indicate no concrete talks have occurred yet. Hütter remains high on the club's shortlist, with a potential change possibly being made during the international break as Spurs aim to move away from the relegation zone. Another high-profile candidate linked with the job is former Brighton and Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi, who is reportedly open to the move, though any permanent deal might depend on the club avoiding relegation.

The managerial search comes at a sensitive time for current boss Igor Tudor, who is not only dealing with the team's poor form but also a significant personal loss following the passing of his father. On the pitch, Tudor's record is grim, having secured only one point from five league matches since replacing Thomas Frank in February.

The urgency for a decision has been heightened by a devastating 3-0 loss to NottinghamForest, which left the club just one point above the relegation zone. The team is enduring its worst run of form in nearly a century, having failed to win in 13 consecutive league matches. With an international break providing a brief respite, the Spurs hierarchy must decide whether to persist with Tudor or appoint a new manager like Hütter or De Zerbi ahead of a critical final stretch of the season.
