Tottenham Owners Leave Tudor Decision to Executives Amid Crisis

Tottenham Hotspur's ownership group Enic will not intervene in the decision regarding manager Igor Tudor's future, leaving the matter to club executives despite mounting pressure. Tudor has lost all four matches since taking charge, conceding 14 goals and facing an uphill battle to keep Tottenham in the Premier League.

Chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and sporting director Johan Lange led the decision to appoint Tudor after sacking Thomas Frank last month. The team's 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League has compounded their struggles, with relegation now a real possibility. Sources indicate that Enic has historically maintained a hands-off approach to daily operations.

The club's leadership structure has undergone significant changes recently, with Daniel Levy's departure after 25 years and Venkatesham's arrival in 2025. The Lewis family, who own Tottenham, have become more visible but continue to defer major decisions to the executive team. Tudor's fate now rests with the current management as they navigate this crisis.
