How many games does Igor Tudor have to keep his Tottenham job post crucial Liverpool draw?

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Igor Tudor has been granted what amounts to a two-match stay of execution after Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Anfield, a result that halted a five-game Premier League slide and briefly quelled the growing calls for change at Hotspur Way.

The Croatian, appointed during a turbulent period, saw his opening fortnight spiral into crisis: four consecutive defeats, culminating in a 5-2 humiliation by Atlético Madrid in Riyadh and the Antonin Kinsky substitution affair that dominated headlines. By the time Liverpool kicked off last weekend, many supporters feared it would be Tudor’s final match in the dug-out.

Instead, a disciplined, compact game-plan frustrated Jürgen Klopp’s side and Richarlison’s stoppage-time equaliser earned a point that boardroom sources have interpreted as evidence of progress. According to Football Insider, the hierarchy now view the coming fixtures as a definitive mini-audit of Tudor’s reign: Wednesday’s Champions League return leg against Atlético Madrid and, more decisively, Saturday’s league encounter with Nottingham Forest.

While progression in Europe remains a target, senior figures are understood to attach greater weight to the domestic six-pointer at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Forest sit one point above Spurs; defeat would drag the London club deeper into relegation jeopardy, intensifying scrutiny on the coach. A positive result, conversely, could restore the buffer that evaporated during the recent losing streak.

Club insiders stress that a spirited display against Atlético, followed by victory over Forest, would likely secure Tudor’s position through the remainder of the campaign. Failure, however, could prompt an emergency re-evaluation as the battle to stay above the drop zone reaches boiling point.

For the 46-year-old, the equation is stark: two matches, four days, and perhaps the fate of Tottenham’s season hanging in the balance.
