Tottenham Spurs Struggle Continues Amid Managerial Uncertainty

By Rohan Mehta / 31.03.2026

Tottenham Spurs are currently enduring a challenging period in the Premier League, having taken just 34 points from their last 40 games. This alarming trend includes a record of 13 consecutive league matches without a win, marking their worst run since the 1934-35 season. The team’s struggles have been compounded by a lack of victories at home, with only two wins at their stadium this season, placing them near the bottom of the league standings.

The situation has raised concerns about the club’s future, particularly as they have not secured a win in 2026. With only one point earned from their last 21 available, Spurs are facing the real possibility of relegation, needing between 36 and 38 points to ensure their survival this season. Current projections from Opta suggest a 26.41% chance of relegation for Tottenham.

In light of these difficulties, speculation regarding managerial changes has intensified. Roberto De Zerbi has emerged as a prime target to replace Igor Tudor, who has been under pressure due to the team’s poor performance. Mauricio Pochettino, a former manager, has expressed a deep connection to the club, stating, “With my connection to Tottenham, it’s impossible to feel nothing about Tottenham, about the club, the people that work there, and about the fans. That was one of the best experiences of my life.” He also hinted at the possibility of returning, saying, “Never, say never.”

As Tottenham navigates this tumultuous period, their performance has drawn comparisons to other struggling teams. For instance, West Ham and Nottingham Forest have managed to earn 14 points from their recent matches, while Spurs have faltered significantly.

Moreover, Tottenham’s disciplinary record has also been a concern, with four red cards this season, second only to Chelsea. This has further complicated their efforts to regain form and stability on the pitch.

Looking ahead, observers are keen to see how the club will address its managerial situation and whether they can turn their fortunes around in the coming weeks. The opportunity for a permanent appointment is critical, and the seriousness of potential candidates like De Zerbi could play a pivotal role in the club’s future.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact impact of injuries on Spurs’ performance this season, as well as the future of Pochettino, who is currently focused on the World Cup.
