Sean Dyche has brushed aside speculation linking him with the vacant head coach position at Tottenham Hotspur, laughing off rumors amid growing uncertainty surrounding Igor Tudor's future at the club.

Dyche, who was dismissed by Nottingham Forest in early February following a goalless draw with league bottom-dwellers Wolverhampton Wanderers, has found himself at the center of speculation after Spurs' continued poor form under Tudor.

Despite Forest's initial struggles, a turnaround under new boss Vitor Pereira—including a stunning 3-0 victory over Tottenham—has lifted them to 16th in the Premier League, easing immediate relegation fears.

Conversely, Tottenham's situation has worsened. They now sit just one point above the relegation zone after losing four of their five league matches under Tudor, with only one draw to show for their last 13 league games (W0 D5 L8). This marks their second-longest winless run in club history.

The pressure on Tudor intensified following the recent passing of his father, Mario Tudor. During this difficult time, rumors quickly circulated that Dyche could be considered for the role, prompting talkSport to query the experienced manager about a potential move to North London.

Responding with humor, Dyche said: "Ah, it's brilliant, honestly. I was in the pub and this guy goes, 'Ah, you're meant to be in talks with Spurs tonight?' And I say, 'I'm sat next to you having a pint of Guinness, so it's unlikely, unless you work for Spurs!'

He went on to reflect on the media cycle surrounding managerial speculation: "You get asked and you try to be respectful because let's use Tottenham as an example. A brilliant club, massive club and all the rest of it and one of my first ever memories is Ricky Villa's goal and so you say yeah, flattered. And [social media] say, 'He hasn't said no,' and then you go, 'no,' and they say, 'he wants it really', so you say, 'yes,' and they say, 'I knew he wanted it,' so what can you say?"

Tottenham are next in action on April 12, when they face Sunderland in the FA Cup quarter-final replay at the Stadium of Light, a fixture that could have significant implications for Tudor’s immediate future.
