Reports emerged this week that Dyche would be in line to take over, should Tottenham make a change during the international break. It would see him make a swift return to the dugout, after he was sacked by Nottingham Forest in February after just three months in charge at the City Ground. Appearing on talk SPORT, Dyche was asked by host Jonny Owen about the rumours linking him with the Spurs job - and social media chatter that he had been spotted in London. Dyche replied: 'It's brilliant, honestly. I was in a pub just the way near my place I've got down here and this guy goes, "Oh, you're meant to be in talks with Spurs tonight". 'I went, "Well I'm sat next to you having a pint of Guinness, so it's unlikely! Unless you work for Spurs and they're in the Seven Stars pub having a pint of Guinness, it's highly unlikely". ' Sean Dyche addressed reports linking him with taking over at Tottenham until the end of the season Tottenham are a point above the relegation zone and are clinging to their Premier League status Dyche has been tipped to succeed Igor Tudor, who has one point from five games in charge ?

' Dyche admitted it was challenging for out of work bosses when speculation links them to a potential job. 'It's a tricky situation, when you're a manager you know you're going to get asked questions, ' Dyche continued. 'You try to be respectful, let's use Tottenham as an example. Brilliant club, massive club. One of my first ever memories is Ricky Villa's goal. You go, "Yeah, I'm flattered". And they say, "He hasn't said no, he wants it really". ' Tottenham sit just one point above the relegation zone, with the Premier League ever-presents yet to have won a league fixture in 2026. Former boss Thomas Frank made a bright start to life in north London but was sacked with Spurs in freefall in February. Tudor was appointed as an interim until the end of the season, but has picked up just one point from five matches to leave Spurs clinging to their Premier League status. The Croatian currently remains in his post, but Tottenham could opt to make a second managerial change of the season before facing a decisive seven-game run. Tudor attended the funeral of his father, Mario, in his homeland of Croatia this week. Days earlier, Spurs had issued a statement in which they said they were 'deeply saddened' to hear of Mario's passing, adding: 'Our thoughts and condolences go out to Igor and his family during this incredibly difficult time.
