Tottenham are in the “final stages” of bringing in a replacement for Fabio Paratici, who left his role as managing director at the end of January.
Romero criticised after Tottenham rallying cry
Cristian Romero promised to put 200 per cent into Tottenham’s seven remaining “finals” in order to avoid a seismic Premier League exit, but some footage from the defeat against Nottingham Forest tells a very different story.
Spurs’ survival hopes took an almighty hit after they suffered a demoralising 3-0 loss at home to Forest on Sunday to drop to 17th in the table and increase the possibility of a first relegation since 1977.
Tottenham’s winless run in the Premier League stands at 13 matches and the pre-match optimism was swapped for a sense of inevitability after another abject defeat.
“It’s a difficult day for everyone, but the first thing is to speak about the fans. Thank you for today and always staying with us,” Romero said.
“They gave us fantastic support, but about us, it’s a bad day. Now it is finished and the most important thing is to understand the situation.”
Fans were left fuming after footage emerged online showing the Argentine sauntering back into position moments before the visitors scored their second goal.
The players are not the only ones under pressure of course, with rumours continuing to circulate regarding the future of manager Igor Tudor.
Reports on Tuesday claimed Spurs are set to part ways with Tudor to move for Roberto De Zerbi, who is out of work since leaving Marseille abruptly earlier this year.

Spurs are set to part ways with the Croatian.
Tottenham are also expected to appoint new faces in the boardroom after Paratici’s departure, with pressure building on Johan Lange and Vinai Venkatesham as well, and it seems they are closing in on their first new face.
Tottenham “in final stages” of sporting director search
According to Matt Law and Jason Burt, writing for The Telegraph, Spurs are closing in on a new transfer chief, with Sebastian Kehl the frontrunner to take over.
“Spurs in final stages of sporting director hunt,” Law said on social media. “Sources in Germany believe Sebastian Kehl is in the frame.”
Kehl, a three-time Bundesliga winner as a player for Borussia Dortmund, has been the sporting director there since Michael Zorc left in 2022.
Set to leave the German club by mutual consent this month, the 46 year-old may be tasked with rebuilding a side decimated by relegation if Tudor – or indeed a replacement – cannot keep them up.
