Tottenham Hotspur will be searching for their next permanent manager in tandem with Igor Tudor and his players trying to ensure they keep the club in the Premier League this season.
Another shocking league season for Spurs means they are in 16th position and just four points above the relegation zone, with a campaign in the Championship next term unthinkable for a club of their size.
Tudor will know that his debut game against Arsenal wasn’t good enough and that a big improvement is needed, starting with the trip to Fulham on Sunday.
The Croat has been boosted by the return to fitness of Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso ahead of the London derby at Craven Cottage, and now a big performance and result is required to stave off any relegation fears.
Which division Tottenham find themselves in next season will of course have a big bearing on who their next permanent manager is too.
Tottenham ‘Interested’ in Appointing Cesc Fabregas
Tottenham are considering their options as they look to secure a top manager for the 2026-27 campaign to move them back up the Premier League table.
According to GIVEMESPORT sources, former boss Mauricio Pochettino and the newly-available Roberto De Zerbi are their two top targets at the moment, but as per TEAMtalk, they are also considering Fabregas too.
While the Spaniard has strong connections with Spurs’ arch London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, he would be open to taking the job at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The north Londoners would face competition to land the 38-year-old however, as he is also of interest to Manchester City as they begin to conduct due diligence on potential replacements for Pep Guardiola.
Fabregas Would be Better Than Pochettino
While the romantic appointment for Tottenham this summer would be Pochettino, there do have to be some doubts over whether it is really the right appointment to take the club forward.
Of course, there is the old adage that you should never go back and tarnish your reputation, and that must be taken into consideration.
The Argentine will also have been away from club football for two years by the time we get to the end of this season.
The same can’t be said for Fabregas, who continues to have Como punching above their weight in Serie A.
The club is sixth and making a genuine push for Champions League football next term, and Fabregas has helped attract big talents like Nico Paz to northern Italy, before developing him to become one of the best players in the division.
Already renowned for his tactical acumen and charisma, Fabregas is considered to be one of the most exciting young managers in European football, and despite his Arsenal links, he is a project manager who can finally take Tottenham forward again.
