Bruno Saltor thinks Igor Tudor and his coaching staff have “the support of everyone” at Tottenham Hotspur.
The coach stepped in to speak for the Spurs manager after a devastating 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, which has left the club precariously close to the Premier League relegation zone amid calls for Tudor to be sacked just over a month after he joined following Thomas Frank’s exit.
Speaking in the news conference, Saltor said: “Yeah, of course, we feel the support of everyone at the club and we’re just focusing on how we can help the players.
“What gives me belief? The last two games, against Liverpool and Atletico Madrid and the first half today. We should’ve been at least 1-0 up.
“Right now every small detail is going against us. It is about turning it around and that’s what gives us confidence.”
He also explained to Sky Sports that he was stepping in for Tudor due to “personal matters” for the head coach, who is believed to have suffered a family bereavement.
He added: “Personal matters, family matters and I am stepping in as it is not right time for him to speak.”
He insisted “every mistake right now is going against us”, admitting that “it affects the players as well”.
He continued: “You can see how much they are fighting. We are in a difficult situation, everyone knows. In the first half we were the better team and need to be consistent with that.
“We were 1-0 down and wanted to be a little more aggressive with players coming back from injuries. It didn’t work as planned but it was our intention.
“It hurts us, it is painful, really painful, but the fans were outstanding today – from before the game until the end of the game.”
He insisted the club is “family, and everyone involved is desperate to “get out of this situation”, while he believes they can.
Saltor said: “I am 100 percent sure we can get through this situation.”
