Tottenham currently sit 16th in the Premier League, just five points above the relegation zone, leaving interim manager Igor Tudor with a huge challenge to steady the ship.
Tudor, appointed on February 14, 2026, will oversee his first major test this Sunday in the North London Derby against Arsenal, before navigating a tough run of fixtures.
A potential clash with Crystal Palace on March 5 could see Thomas Frank back on the touchline against Spurs, should he secure the Eagles' job.
The current Palace manager, Oliver Glasner, has announced he will leave at the end of the season, though recent poor results have raised doubts over whether he will last until then.

The move would mark a compelling reunion with Tottenham, particularly with Mohammed Kudus, his expensive Spurs buy, still in the squad.
Frank’s tenure at Brentford demonstrated his ability to maximise limited resources, and pundits like Simon Jordan have tipped him to make an immediate impact if he joins the Eagles.
However, the prospect of Frank returning to face Spurs adds an intriguing subplot to Tottenham’s mid-season challenges, as Tudor attempts to lift a struggling side out of the relegation zone.
A meeting between the former Spurs boss and his old club could provide both drama and motivation, while offering Tottenham fans a glimpse of a familiar figure in opposition.
Tottenham's 2025/26 season deteriorated with Thomas Frank in charge, with the team sitting 16th in the league when the Dane left the club on February 14.
Should the move materialise, the Palace clash on March 5 could be a high-stakes encounter filled with narrative twists, testing Spurs’ resilience and Tudor’s management early in his interim tenure.
For now, Tudor and Tottenham's main focus is on the North London derby against Arsenal on Sunday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with kick-off scheduled at 16: 30 GMT.
