Sean Dyche addressed rumors from the English press linking him as the next manager of Tottenham, at a time when Igor Tudor's future at the club is in doubt due to relegation threats. The speculation arose this week, indicating that Vítor Pereira's predecessor would be the chosen one to take over if the Spurs decided to make a change during the international break. Such a scenario would mark a quick return for the manager, who was dismissed from Nottingham Forest in February after just three months at the City Ground. Tottenham's situation in the Premier League is delicate. The club, which has never been relegated from the competition, is only one point above the danger zone and has yet to win any league games in 2026. The previous manager, Thomas Frank, was sacked in February with the team in free fall, despite a promising start. Igor Tudor was then appointed as interim manager until the end of the season, but he has only accumulated one point in five games, leaving the Spurs struggling for survival. Although the Croatian coach remains in charge, the club may opt for a second managerial change before a crucial series of seven matches. Recently, Tudor traveled to Croatia for the funeral of his father, Mario, with the club issuing a statement of condolences. In comments to talk SPORT, Sean Dyche humorously addressed the rumors, denying that he was in negotiations with the London club. When asked by host Jonny Owen about his supposed presence in London for talks, Dyche recounted a humorous incident. "It's brilliant, honestly. I was in a pub near where I live here and a guy says to me: 'Oh, supposedly you're in negotiations with the Spurs tonight.' I replied: 'Well, I'm sitting here next to you drinking a Guinness, so that's unlikely! Unless you work for the Spurs and they're in the Seven Stars pub drinking a Guinness, it's highly unlikely,'" he said with a smile. Dyche acknowledged the difficulty that unemployed managers face when they are the subject of speculation. "It's a complicated situation. When you're a manager, you know they're going to ask you questions," he stated. "You try to be respectful. Let's use Tottenham as an example. A brilliant club, a huge club. One of my first memories is Ricky Villa's goal. We say: 'Yes, I feel flattered.' And then they say: 'He didn't say no, he really wants the job.'"
