English football club Tottenham has faced unprecedented failure. The capital club has suffered its sixth consecutive defeat in official matches, marking the worst streak in the club's history. The start has been disastrous for the team's new head coach, Igor Tudor. All four matches held under the leadership of the Croatian specialist have ended in defeats. This is the worst start recorded for a head coach in Tottenham's history.
Idman.Biz reports, citing talkSPORT, that the club's owners, the Luis family, are seriously disappointed with Tudor's lack of impact and are considering removing Igor Tudor from his position. The Croatian specialist is expected to be sacked by the weekend.
In the match held at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano stadium, the London club fell behind 0:3 in the first 15 minutes due to goalkeeper Antonin Kinski's mistakes. Tudor's decision to give a young goalkeeper a chance in such an important match and immediately replace him after the third goal has been heavily criticised.
Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara has harshly criticised Tudor:
"I am ashamed to be a Tottenham fan. This is nothing short of a disgrace. The head coach is a fraud. He needs to be sacked at half-time. To go out against Atletico with a 3-4-3 system is an embarrassment. We can't play that formation."
It should be noted that Tottenham, which is only one point away from the relegation zone in the Premier League (English Championship), will face a difficult test against Liverpool at Anfield stadium on Sunday. It is reported that the club's management will hold a meeting with the players and decide on Tudor's fate.
