It is understood De Zerbi is fully committed to rebuilding #Tottenham and views the position as long term project regardless of which division they are playing in. [@SamiMokbel_BBC] 🥇

Spurs sounded out Roberto De Zerbi to see whether he would join before the summer. As it stands, the Italian still remains inclined to wait, as revealed on @talkSPORT with @alex_crook. He remains a strong candidate to take the role permanently if Spurs avoid relegation. Prior to Atletico Madrid in the #UCL, Spurs made a list of up to eight interim bosses. These included Adi Hutter and Sean Dyche. Challenge with Dyche is offsetting his Nottingham Forest payoff which will end with new work, making him expensive. Spurs are prepared to pay a significant stay up bonus. Other names discussed are Robbie Keane, Chris Hughton and Harry Redknapp, none of whom have had contact as of Sunday lunch. Keane is also appreciated by Crystal Palace and hoping for a long-term role. Ryan Mason, Ben Davies, Glenn Hoddle and Tim Sherwood also discussed. One idea proposed is to have someone with a Spurs affinity on the coaching staff even if not the lead coach. Bruno Saltor will take training until a new appointment is determined. Although no one is lined up yet, Spurs feel prepared due to legwork done dating back to before their #UCL exit.⚪️

💣 🚨 #Tottenham consider Sean Dyche to rescue the club from relegation should Roberto De Zerbi continue to insist that he will only take the job at the end of the season. [@Matt_Law_DT / @SamWallaceTel] 🥇

The #Tottenham players have no faith in Igor Tudor, who has failed to bond with his squad. This leaves Vinai and Lange having to decide whether to sack Tudor either side of Sunday's trip to Liverpool and potentially put their own positions under threat. There is a belief around Spurs that Venkatesham and Lange could face difficult questions internally if they are forced to admit they made an error regarding Tudor, or if they stick with him and the situation does not improve.
