Tottenham are West Ham’s closest rivals in the relegation battle, so Hammers fans will be keeping a close eye on their managerial search.

Spurs officially announced on Sunday that they had parted ways with interim head coach Igor Tudor after just six weeks in charge.

Many then assumed the North London club would already have a replacement lined up, but that is actually far from the case.

West Ham will be pleased to read that Tottenham have yet to decide on Tudor’s successor, having considered 10 managers.

Tottenham have nobody ‘lined up’ after Igor Tudor’s departure

Tottenham have internally “discussed” the possibility of 10 different managers taking over from Tudor as interim head coach, according to Ben Jacobs.

It appears that former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is Spurs’ first choice, but he would rather wait until the summer.

Adi Hutter and Sean Dyche are two other strong contenders, although a deal for the latter would be complicated due to his recent spell at Nottingham Forest.

Meanwhile, the Lilywhites are also open to appointing someone with “a Spurs affinity” to help them escape relegation.

The following names have all made the shortlist: Robbie Keane, Chris Hughton, Harry Redknapp, Ryan Mason, Ben Davies, Glenn Hoddle and Tim Sherwood.

This 10-man list of potential managers with different approaches clearly demonstrates a lack of joined-up thinking at the North London club.

They have also wasted half of the international break, which could have been used to integrate a new man into the building.

In the meantime, West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been able to prepare his side for the crucial final seven games of the season.

Therefore, from the Hammers’ perspective, the longer Spurs continue to scramble for a new manager, the better.
