Tottenham considering appointing a manager who has been away from coaching for two decades

As Tottenham's ship continues to sink towards relegation, Spurs' leadership is contemplating an unimaginable option: bringing legend Glenn Hoddle back to the coaching bench after two decades away from managerial duties.

Tottenham Hotspur is experiencing a disastrous season, having just officially dismissed manager Igor Tudor after only 7 brief matches in charge. The humiliating 0-3 defeat to Nottingham Forest at home was the final straw, pushing the North London club down to 17th place, just one point above the relegation zone.

With a streak of 13 consecutive Premier League matches without a win and having just been eliminated from the Champions League, the specter of relegation for the first time in nearly half a century is becoming increasingly apparent more than ever at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In this crisis, the name Glenn Hoddle - who spent 13 years serving and played nearly 500 matches for the club - has unexpectedly emerged as a potential "savior." Although his last coaching role was in 2006 at Wolves, Hoddle's influence and deep understanding of the club's identity are undeniable.

Fans believe only a true legend can awaken the pride of faltering stars like Cristian Romero.

Many opinions from experts and loyal supporters suggest appointing Hoddle is not just a professional matter but also a psychological therapy. Expert Sam Matterface asserts that Hoddle would immediately receive absolute respect from the players:

"If he walks in tomorrow, he would certainly have a plan to help the team stay up. In terms of communication skills and building authority, no one is more respected than Glenn Hoddle". His presence is expected to help the players understand "what the badge on the chest means".

To support the 68-year-old strategist, a proposal for a "Dream Coaching Team" has been suggested, including former figures like Tim Sherwood or Jermain Defoe. The combination of Hoddle's seasoned experience and the youth and passion of assistants familiar with the academy is seen as the key for Tottenham to secure 2 to 3 crucial victories, starting from their away trip to Sunderland's ground.

Although Glenn Hoddle is receiving significant emotional support as an option, Spurs' leadership is still weighing other choices. Roberto De Zerbi is the preferred name, but the Italian strategist wants to wait until summer. Meanwhile, Adi Hutter is also a strong candidate for the permanent hot seat. Other names like Sean Dyche, Harry Redknapp, or Ryan Mason have all been included in the shortlist for the interim role.

Currently, while awaiting the final decision from Chairman Daniel Levy, assistant Bruno Saltor will temporarily oversee training sessions. However, time pressure is mounting as each passing match round brings Spurs closer to the abyss.
