“Tottenham interested in hiring former Eintracht Frankfurt coach.”

After the dismissal of Thomas Frank, Tottenham Hotspur has plunged into a phase of uncertainty, weighing between hiring a temporary coach or a permanent name to lead the team. Opting for the former, the Spurs have appointed free agent Igor Tudor as interim manager until the end of the season, in an attempt to stabilize the club’s situation.

Meanwhile, Tudor’s debut in charge of Tottenham did not start in the best way. The Croatian suffered a crushing 4-1 defeat at home in one of the most anticipated matches of the season, the North London derby against Arsenal. The pressure now rests on Tudor’s shoulders, who urgently needs a victory in the next match against Fulham, scheduled for Sunday. Ian Wright, former Arsenal striker, did not hold back criticism, stating that the Tottenham squad has “already disconnected” after the humiliating defeat, but Tudor remains optimistic, assuring that the team will avoid relegation by the end of the season.

With the situation tightening, the Spurs find themselves in a delicate position, just four points above the relegation zone, with only 11 games remaining in the Premier League. Although sporting director Johan Lange surprised fans by stating that “Tudor could stay for a long time,” the club’s top executives continue to explore other options for a permanent managerial appointment for the summer.

According to reports from BILD, Tottenham has already contacted Niko Kovac, the current manager of Borussia Dortmund, with the intention of hiring him as the club’s next permanent manager. Despite Dortmund’s elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Atalanta, the club’s management still wishes to retain Kovac as coach until the end of his contract, which runs until 2027, following an extension signed at the beginning of the season.

The truth is that Kovac has been achieving impressive results with the team at Signal Iduna Park, leading Dortmund to experience one of its best seasons in the Bundesliga since the days of Jürgen Klopp. The work carried out by the Croatian has not gone unnoticed by Tottenham officials, who see Kovac as a potential ideal leader for the future of the team.

At 54 years old, Kovac has demonstrated a remarkable ability to instill a fighting spirit in the squad, demanding more intensity and aggression in pressing, as well as an extra effort in all areas of the pitch. Dortmund’s players have responded positively, comfortably positioning themselves in second place in the Bundesliga table. The former defensive midfielder has managed to get the best out of the available resources, making him a suitable choice to take the permanent reins at Tottenham starting from the 2026/27 season.

However, Tottenham’s task will not be easy. With Borussia Dortmund determined to continue working with Kovac until next year, the London club’s officials face the challenge of convincing the coach to embark on a new project in London. The pressure is mounting, and Tottenham’s future may depend on the decisions made in the coming weeks.
