Tottenham yet to hold concrete talks with Adi Hütter, English reports contradicted
Tottenham Hotspur have not held concrete talks with Adi Hütter yet, according to Sky Sport Germany, despite English media linking him as a potential replacement for Igor Tudor.
The pressure on Tudor increased after Tottenham lost 3-0 to Nottingham Forest on Sunday. That result left Spurs one point outside the relegation zone with seven games remaining.
Interim appointment brings limited results
Tottenham appointed Igor Tudor as interim manager on February 13th after Thomas Frank was replaced. The board expected a firefighter impact, but the outcomes have not matched that plan.
Under Tudor, Spurs have managed one win in seven games and zero Premier League wins. Tottenham have also taken one point in five league matches. They are the only side without a win in the league in 2026.
With the run of results, multiple reports after the Nottingham Forest defeat suggested Tudor could be sacked during the international break. Roberto de Zerbi has been named as a replacement candidate.
Hütter linked in England, but Germany reports no talks
Alongside de Zerbi, Adi Hütter has also been mentioned by English outlets as a potential immediate option. A report in England this week claimed he is on the shortlist of replacements Tottenham are considering.
Some English reporting also suggested Tottenham made contact to gauge interest. A report dated the 19th said Tottenham were keen. Sky Sport Germany contradicts that picture, stating there have been no concrete talks between Adi Hütter and Tottenham so far.

Is Hütter the right fit for Spurs’ relegation battle?
The decision Tottenham could face if they move on from Igor Tudor centers on whether Adi Hütter fits the challenge. He has a record of winning, with five trophies to his name, and was named Bundesliga Coach of the Year twice during his time at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Like Tudor, Hütter has no Premier League experience. Taking over a high-pressure relegation fight with seven games remaining is a significant gamble in a league where margins are tight.
There are also doubts linked to his most recent role. His departure from AS Monaco raises concerns, which could factor into whether Tottenham’s decision-makers would proceed.
