Tudor Clarifies Viral Liverpool Moment After Claims He Made Slot 'Mistake'
Igor Tudor joked he may keep greeting Tottenham staff Allan Dixon, who resembles Liverpool's Arne Slot, as a good-luck ritual after viral pre-match moment at Anfield.
- On Sunday at Anfield, Tottenham manager Igor Tudor clarified he did not make a mistake over the touchline exchange with Allan Dixon and joked he may keep hugging 'Arne' before matches as a good-luck charm.
- The mix-up arose because Dixon's resemblance to Liverpool manager Arne Slot led Tudor to confuse him last Sunday at Anfield, amid four early defeats.
- Broadly across social media, TV cameras captured Tudor joking and embracing Dixon, with clips going viral and critics lambasting him.
- Recounting the exchange to reporters, Tudor explained he and Dixon recreated the moment as a joke before Tottenham's Champions League clash with Atlético Madrid earlier this week, sharing his son's amusement and defending it as modern news culture.
- The episode sits alongside Tottenham's week in which images briefly intensified scrutiny as Tudor's side recovered with a gritty 1-1 draw at Liverpool and a morale-boosting 3-2 win over Atlético Madrid, with Tudor saying it's about having fun rather than meaning to offend.
