Igor Tudor’s arrival was supposed to be the "firefighter" move to save Tottenham’s season. Instead, he has overseen the most disastrous start of any manager in the club’s 143-year history.
Following the chaotic 5-2 collapse against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, Tudor has officially become the first Spurs boss to lose each of his first four games in charge.
25 Days of Self-Destruction
Since Tudor replaced Thomas Frank on February 14, the "manager bounce" hasn't just been missing—it's been a freefall. Spurs have conceded 14 goals in those four games, including a humiliating 4-1 North London Derby loss to Arsenal and the latest European thrashing.
The Record-Breaking Run:
vs Arsenal (H): 1-4 ❌ (PL)
vs Fulham (A): 1-2 ❌ (PL)
vs Crystal Palace (H): 1-3 ❌ (PL)
vs Atletico Madrid (A): 2-5 ❌ (UCL)
The 17-Minute Nightmare
The loss in Madrid was defined by a selection gamble that backfired spectacularly. Tudor opted to start 22-year-old goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky for his Champions League debut over Guglielmo Vicario.
By the 17th minute, Kinsky was withdrawn in tears after two catastrophic errors gifted Atletico a 3-0 lead. He is now the first player in UCL history to be subbed off before the 20-minute mark for non-injury reasons.
Sleepwalking into the Abyss
While Spurs are technically still in Europe, the focus has shifted entirely to survival. The club is currently winless in the Premier League in 2026 and sits just one point above the relegation zone with nine games left.
Spurs Crisis by the Numbers:
6 Consecutive Losses: A new club record in all competitions.
11 Games Winless: Their worst Premier League run since 1975.
16th Place: Just one point ahead of West Ham and Nottingham Forest.
What Happens Next?
The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust (THST) has issued a scathing statement calling for "emergency action," describing the performance in Madrid as a "total disgrace."
With a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday, the pressure on Tudor has reached a boiling point. Bookmakers have already suspended betting on his sack, with names like Sean Dyche and Mauricio Pochettino being linked with a sensational return to steady the ship.
