Tudor was brought in to steady the ship after Thomas Frank's sacking but the appointment has gone disastrously wrong. Spurs have lost all four games under the interim boss and have been dragged into a relegation scrap. Tuesday's 5-2 hammering at Atletico Madrid has all-but eliminated them from the Champions League. Tudor's position is under massive scrutiny, with many feeling the club should make a change now. Mido, who played for Tottenham between 2005-07, scoring 14 goals and becoming a cult hero among fans, gave a scathing verdict. On X, he wrote: 'Whoever appointed #Tudor must get the sack cause I’m sure he never watched #Juventus under him! ! He is one of the worst coaches around! Igor Tudor is under massive pressure and his short tenure has been a disaster 'No tactics no Game plan and man to man management 0! ! Can’t handle the pressure and can’t deal with the media! ! Plz sack him today not tomorrow! ! No time for bull**** anymore. . the club doesn’t deserve this s***! ' Tudor's management was savaged again on Tuesday, after he opted to give Antonin Kinsky his Champions League debut. The 22-year-old was then brought off by his manager after making two horrendous errors, with Tudor completely blanking him on the touchline. On TNT Sport, Joe Hart said: 'You have to be treated like a human, just a little bit. I understand the situation. 'This needs getting a serious grip of. Madness happens all the time in football. That was mad, maybe he didn't handle it how he should have. 'I saw the whole bench's hearts drop. They are saying, "don't worry we are here for you". It's the human side of things. If you aren't willing to show it, that's when it starts to divide. ' As Simon Jones earlier reported for the Daily Mail, the inquest into the heavy defeat took place on Wednesday morning. CEO Vinai Venkatesham arrived at the club's training ground around 8. 45am today. Mido (right) was scathing in his verdict, calling Tudor 'one of the worst coaches around' Many view Tudor’s position as untenable but Tottenham have little in the way of alternatives, even though former Nottingham Forest and Everton boss Sean Dyche has been backed into 2/1 by some bookmakers to take over, and the club maintain Tudor will take press conference duties on Friday at 1. 30pm ahead of the weekend game against Liverpool. Roberto De Zerbi and Mauricio Pochettino are contenders to take over in the summer. Indeed, talks are understood to have taken place recently with De Zerbi, who is available now after leaving his position with Marseille. The Italian particularly is a leading candidate for the summer but efforts could now ensue to try to fast-track that decision.
