Tim Sherwood makes a bold statement! Ready to return and rescue Spurs from crisis, confident he can keep them from relegation, he sharply criticizes “Tudor” for chaotic tactics.
On 24 Mar 2026 GMT+7, Tim Sherwood, former manager of Tottenham Hotspur, expressed confidence that if given the chance to return as head coach of the "Spurs," he could definitely keep the team in the Premier League.
Spurs' situation is worrying after a 0-3 home defeat to Forest, leaving them only one point above the relegation zone and increasing pressure on Tudor's future. Tudor has yet to win a league match since replacing Thomas Frank in February, earning just 1 point from 5 games (out of 15 possible).
"I will keep the team in the Premier League," Sherwood said in an interview with Sky Sports on Monday.
"I believe anyone with common sense can keep this team up. They have enough quality. The key is to get the players feeling good again and restore their confidence."
Sherwood also offered himself to manage Spurs again after Thomas Frank was dismissed in February, saying it would be "a great honor" to return as head coach.
Sherwood criticized Tudor's player management, especially dropping Saphy Sarr Dionnes in the match against Forest despite recently scoring two goals in the UEFA Champions League. He also faulted the defensive organization of Spurs, who conceded three goals in this crucial relegation battle.
"It's not complicated. You have to train them every day, playing 11 versus 11 so they clearly know their positions. When Mickey van de Ven has to carry the ball forward or Cristian Romero pushes up, that means something is wrong up front."
"Hold your positions well and focus first on keeping a clean sheet. If you can't win, at least don't lose. Keep the team organized."
Tim Sherwood previously served as Tottenham Hotspur's manager in a brief stint from December 2013 to May 2014, taking over from André Villas-Boas on an 18-month contract.
He managed Spurs in 28 matches, achieving 14 wins, 4 draws, and 10 losses, finishing the season in 6th place with 69 points and securing a spot in the UEFA Europa League for the following season.
He was later dismissed by club chairman Daniel Levy after failing to meet performance expectations and was succeeded by Mauricio Pochettino.
