Interim manager has lost four out of four

Harry Redknapp rules himself out of return

Igor Tudor will fight on with Totten­ham against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday in a desperate bid for any positivity before the rele­gation six‑pointer at home against Nottingham Forest the following week.

The interim manager, who is under contract until the end of the season, is not expected to last that long as his tenure lurches from one horror performance to the next, the latest being the 5-2 defeat at ­Atlético Madrid in the Champions League last‑16 first leg on Tuesday.

That made it four defeats out of four since Tudor took over from Thomas Frank; the first three were in the Premier League where Spurs are 16th, one point and two places above the relegation zone. ­Forest are 17th.
