Son Heung-min (34)'s former team Tottenham will break up with Igor Tudor (48). Roberto de Gerby (47) is the likely replacement.

Citing reporter Peter O'Rourke's report on the 25th (Korea Standard Time), "Tudor is scheduled to leave Tottenham within the next 24 to 48 hours, and the leaders of the club are making De Zerby the top target to save this season."

British Football 365 also reported, "Tottenham has decided to conclude its companion with Tudor by mutual agreement after the defeat against Nottingham, and has selected a surprising successor to lead the rest of the season."

Tottenham was completely defeated 0-3 at home in the 31st round of the "2025-2026 English Premier League (EPL)" against Nottingham Forest at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 22nd.

Tottenham, which has been mired in 13 league games (5 draws and 8 losses), fell to 17th place with 30 points (7 wins, 9 draws and 15 losses). The final 18th-20th place in the EPL will be relegated to the English Championship (Second Division). Tottenham is only one point behind West Ham (29 points), which is ranked 18th in the relegation zone. The reality of relegation for the first time in 49 years since 1977 is just around the corner. Currently, there are only seven games left to prevent a catastrophe.

Tottenham have not won a single league this year. Following Thomas Frank, Igor Tudor took the helm temporarily, but he has been suffering from extreme sluggishness since taking office, taking only one point in five games.

The media borrowed O'Rourke's remarks and said, "The key is whether the club can persuade De Zerby to take over the manager's position right now, not after the end of the season."

The opinions of leading local experts are also in agreement. Reporter Graham Bailey also hinted that Tudor will leave the team under mutual agreement in the next few days. "Coach Tudor, who is from Croatia, had a brutal period, failing to revitalize the team, just like his predecessors Thomas Frank and Enze Postecoglou," the media said.

"It remains to be seen whether De Zerby will be interested in taking the helm of a team on the verge of relegation to the second division. However, it seems clear that Tottenham's leadership wants a strong change before the team completely falls into the relegation zone.

De Zerby is a leader who has already proven his tactical capabilities in the English Premier League (EPL). In the past, he led Brighton and Hove Albion and played soccer based on detailed rear build-up and organic attack development. It also led Brighton to a European tournament for the first time in the club's history.

The soccer community is paying keen attention to whether he will accept Tottenham's proposal for a firefighter who is on the verge of relegation, as he is considered a tactician leading the modern soccer trend and has been courted by several big clubs.
