Tottenham Hotspur are targeting Dougie Freedman as their new sporting director amid growing concerns over Igor Tudor's performance as manager. The London club has undergone significant structural changes recently, with Daniel Levy stepping down as executive chairman and Carlos Raphael Moersen joining as director of football operations in January.

Tudor's appointment in February was meant to provide an immediate boost to a struggling team, given his reputation for improving under-performing squads. However, the Croatian has lost all three matches since taking charge, leaving Spurs just one point above the relegation zone with nine games remaining. Thursday's defeat to Crystal Palace has intensified pressure on the 46-year-old manager.

Despite the mounting pressure, Tottenham sources insist there are no immediate plans to replace Tudor for a second time this season. The manager is still scheduled to lead the pre-match news conference before the crucial Champions League last-16 tie against Atletico Madrid. Even if Tudor manages to secure Premier League survival, his long-term future at the club appears increasingly uncertain as Tottenham's hierarchy considers their options.
