Tottenham Hotspur, which has been repeatedly falling after Son Heung-min (34, LAFC), has now fallen into a disastrous situation of getting ridiculed responses from the next coach candidate. With the unprecedented replacement of the head coach twice in a season imminent, former Nottingham Forest coach Sean Dyche, who was mentioned as a strong candidate, directly refuted the transfer theory.

The Guardian, a leading British newspaper, reported on the 29th (Korea time) that Daichi, who was recently mentioned as a replacement for interim coach Igor Tudor, refuted rumors that he was in contact with Tottenham's leadership.

According to local reports in the UK, Daichi appeared on "Talk Sports" and said, "I was drinking beer at a local pub and a man approached me. "He asked if I was negotiating with Tottenham," he said.

Even Daichi said, "I'm drinking beer next to you right now. "How can you negotiate with Tottenham?" he said, "If you're a Tottenham employee, you don't know." and burst into laughter.

Tottenham are going through an unprecedented decline this season. Under Tudor, Tottenham won only one point (one draw and four losses) in five English Premier League (EPL) games. In 13 league games, the league continues its record winless streak of five draws and eight losses.

The endless fall continues. After Son Heung-min left, Tottenham is reportedly considering replacing even Tudor, following Thomas Frank.

Tottenham's reality couldn't be more miserable. Coach Thomas Frank, who was ambitiously recruited this season, was thrown out due to poor performance, and even Tudor, who was deployed as a firefighter, is on the verge of being kicked out a month after taking office.

Currently, Tottenham have fallen to 17th place in the league with 30 points. It is only one point away from 18th-ranked West Ham United, which is in the relegation zone. Even bottom-ranked teams such as 19th-ranked Burnley and 20th-ranked Wolverhampton Wanderers have been building wins in 2026, while Tottenham has not won a single league victory in 2026.

Tottenham's discipline collapsed disastrously after Son Heung-min, the team's spiritual leader, left for the U.S. stage. According to the Daily Mail, there are clear signs of internal division, with main defenders such as Van der Penn and Jed Spence turning a blind eye to fans' greetings and going straight to the locker room. Even Coach Tudor criticized Tottenham's attack on "BBC" shortly after taking office, saying, "Tottenham's attack is not at the level of scoring a goal and the defense is not even willing."

According to foreign media such as "Fox Sports," Tottenham's leadership is eager to find a third head coach by contacting former Bundesliga coaches such as Adolf Whitter. However, the reality is that even Daichi, a leading candidate, is mocking the transfer rumors while drinking beer at a pub.
