Gus Foyet (58), who played for Tottenham Hotspur in the past, volunteered to be the coach for his former team, which was in the worst slump.

Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 12th (Korea Standard Time) that "Coach Foye expressed his willingness to take the helm if Tottenham, which is struggling under the interim coach Igor Tudor, needs a third coach."

Tottenham are currently in serious crisis. Tudor took the helm as Thomas Frank's replacement last month, but he lost all four games after taking office. Tottenham, which has fallen to 16th place, has only one point difference from the relegation zone. In the first round of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) round of 16, he was on the verge of elimination after losing helplessly to Atletico Madrid 2-5.

As the fear of relegation grows, there are voices among local fans and experts that a third coach should be appointed quickly. In particular, as Robbie Keane, Tim Sherwood and Harry Redknapp were mentioned before the appointment of Tudor, there is a need for a person who knows the internal situation of the club.

In response, coach Foyet directly mentioned himself as a candidate for the coach. Uruguayan coach Foye moved from Chelsea to Tottenham in 2001 and played for three years. He was the head coach under coach Juan de Ramos in 2008, when he last won the trophy before winning the UEFA Europa League (UEL) last season.

In 2014, he led Sunderland to remain in the English Premier League (EPL). After coaching the Greek national team and Jeonbuk Hyundai in the K League 1 until December last year, he is currently unbeatable.

Before Tudor's appointment, Foyet expressed surprise that his name was not on the list of potential candidates. "I respect Tudor, but I'm certainly willing to take on it (if an offer comes up)," he said. "I know everything about the club. Seeing the names of Robbie Keane, Tim Sherwood and Harry Redknapp mentioned, he honestly said, "Why not me?" at home.

"I was there, I know the relegation battle and the EPL well, I'm an experienced person who knows what to do. It's funny that my name isn't mentioned, but I need to turn the compass to the media," he added.

However, he also showed a spirit of partnership, saying, "The only thing I want as a coach right now is for Tudor to solve the situation well and Tottenham to stay."

If he takes office as a coach, he cited "interview with captain Christian Romero" as the first thing he should do. Romero has been struggling with disciplinary issues, including eight yellow cards and two red cards in 21 EPL games this season. In the transfer market in January, he made remarks that seemed to express dissatisfaction with the club's passive recruitment move.

Director Foyet said, "The first person I will meet is Romero. "I will sit face to face with him and talk in Spanish to make them understand each other clearly," he said, stressing that "Tottenham must have the best Romero in order to stay safe."
