Tottenham is prepared to dismiss the coach during the FIFA Days period.

The future of coach Igor Tudor at Tottenham Hotspur is becoming more precarious than ever following a heavy 0-3 defeat against Nottingham Forest.

The Spurs leadership is reportedly planning to change the head coach position even during the upcoming national team training camp, with Roberto De Zerbi being the most prominent name.

The feeble defeat right at home not only cost Tottenham crucial points but also pushed them deeper into the fierce relegation battle. Goals by Igor Jesus, Morgan Gibbs White, and Taiwo Awoniyi exposed a series of problems in Spurs' playing style and competitive spirit. This marks Tudor's fifth defeat since taking over the club, a figure hardly acceptable for a team that once aimed to compete at the top.

Despite a recent 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, that was merely a procedural match and insufficient to cover up the unstable performance in domestic competitions. Currently, Tottenham holds only a slim 1-point lead over West Ham United, making the risk of falling into the relegation zone clearer than ever.

In this context, the Spurs leadership is said to have lost patience with Tudor, even though he was appointed only until the end of the season. According to several reliable sources, Tottenham is considering appointing a permanent head coach immediately rather than waiting until the season ends.

The top-priority candidate is Roberto De Zerbi, the Italian strategist who recently parted ways with Olympique de Marseille. De Zerbi previously impressed while managing Brighton with an attractive and effective attacking style, something Spurs are sorely lacking at the moment.

Besides De Zerbi, other candidates like Mauricio Pochettino or Andoni Iraola are also being considered. However, De Zerbi's advantage is that he is currently free and ready to take over the team immediately.

What is more concerning is that Tottenham might face enormous financial losses if relegation occurs. Estimates suggest the club could lose over £250 million from ticket revenue, sponsorships, and television rights. This would be a major shock for a club that has never been relegated since the Premier League's inception in 1992.

Spurs' upcoming schedule is also daunting as they will face Sunderland, Brighton, Wolves, and a series of tough opponents like Aston Villa, Leeds United, Chelsea, and Everton. Without timely changes, a disastrous season could very well become reality.
