After seeing his Tottenham Hotspur side get off to a disastrous start on Tuesday night in the UEFA Champions League against Atletico Madrid by going three goals down inside the opening 15 minutes, Igor Tudor is expected to be sacked imminently.
Speaking to us confidentially, sources within the club stated that the atmosphere in the dressing room is arguably the worst it has been in recent times. UCL debutant Antonin Kinsky had a catastrophic start between the sticks as he was directly responsible for the first three goals, only to be swiftly substituted after Julian Alvarez added the third.
Worst horror of 15 minutes for Tottenham Hotspur against Athletico Madrid.

Tudor's loss of the dressing room is unsurprising, however, as he refused to acknowledge all the players as they were substituted. It got so bad that Djed Spence left the field, went to the bench, got back up, approached Tudor from behind, tapped him on the shoulder, and shook his hand. Whether it was out of respect or an act of defiance, we will never know. The damning 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid seems to be the nail in the coffin for what is the shortest managerial stint in Premier League history.
Four games, four losses, and 14 goals conceded playing in a defensive shape. The Croatian's reign has been nothing short of cataclysmic.
Where do Tottenham Hotspur go from here?
