Tottenham remain winless in the league in 2026 and have quickly fallen to 18th in the table, two points adrift from West Ham United in safety.
With just 5 games to go, it seems almost impossible that a Spurs side who look clueless on the pitch are to survive the drop especially as sides surrounding them continue to pick up points.
The prospect of Championship football next season is becoming increasingly real and now, as per the Daily Mail and The Telegraph, they are seeking to hire a psychologist.
Could a psychologist help?
Reports stated that the club are advertising for a “Health and Wellbeing Executive” as they posted an advert, seeking for a professional to help the side mentally in what is a constant downward spiral.
"As part of this ambition, we are seeking an outstanding Performance Psychologist to join our Performance Team. This is a high-impact role embedded within the Men’s First Team environment at Hotspur Way.
“Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team you will lead the delivery of evidence-based psychological support to elite professional players.
"The role encompasses individual player support, systemic work across the coaching and performance staff, and the ongoing development of a psychologically informed performance culture throughout the team.
“This role demands a practitioner who is credible, discreet, and highly effective in a Premier League environment, capable of building trust with players and coaches while operating with the professional rigor expected at the highest level of the game.”
Tottenham have another tough test this weekend with a crucial trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have already been relegated. Whether a psychologist will be hired before then is unknown, but the side must move quickly with just 5 games left to avoid falling down.
