With a depleted squad at Anfield, Tudor guided Spurs to a 1-1 draw that keeps them one point clear of the relegation zone.
Sources have confirmed that internal discussions about potential managerial candidates have been ongoing since the club’s Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid.
It may be that the Liverpool draw now gives Tudor a further stay of execution, but the situation is clouded and remains uncertain.
Various candidates have been considered and one intriguing option they have been looking at is Roberto De Zerbi, who has shown some interest in the Tottenham job but would likely seek a genuine long-term commitment.
At this stage, Spurs’ preference has been to appoint an interim manager to guide the team through to the end of the season.
If they can survive the relegation battle and reach the summer, the club could revisit the possibility of bringing Mauricio Pochettino back.
That is generally considered the dream scenario both inside the boardroom and among the fanbase.
However, De Zerbi’s situation adds a layer of complexity.
The Italian is one of the most attractive managers currently available, after leaving Marseille recently. He remains highly regarded across European football and has Premier League experience from his time at Brighton & Hove Albion.
Yet convincing him to accept a short-term role until the end of the season could prove difficult. De Zerbi has also been considered for other positions, with Manchester United reportedly including him on a shortlist of potential candidates alongside Michael Carrick.
Other names mooted for Spurs include Ryan Mason, Harry Redknapp, Tim Sherwood and Sean Dyche but it is believed surprise names beyond those have also been discussed.
Had Spurs lost to Liverpool, the ideal plan had been to replace Tudor early this week. After the draw, however, it may alter the situation.
Sources have told Flashscore that Tudor will probably continue in the job for now, but that he certainly has no guarantees over ending the season.
Tottenham’s next match comes on Wednesday at home to Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League tie, followed by a crucial Premier League game against Nottingham Forest next weekend.
