Tottenham boss Igor Tudor has laughed off claims of mistaking assistant coach Allan Dixon for Arne Slot a week ago.

That was the suggestion of many users on X at the end of Tottenham's 1-1 draw at Liverpool.

"I don't recognise the guy who I spend 10 hours with every day?! So I come out and don't know he is? It was a little bit ridiculous," Tudor said.

"Now (on Wednesday) we did it on purpose to make a joke, because from now on I call him 'Arne'. It's not Allan, it's Arne!"

He added: "What happened was my son, who is 20 years old, said in Croatia everyone is laughing with you because you did this mistake. I said, 'what mistake?' and I said to him, 'you do know who the guy is?'.

"So I said, 'it's Allan Dixon, I'm spending all days together with him', so I came out and he's standing in front of my bench. So what other coach can be there in front of it? It's my training zone.

"He was there, I came to him to make a joke. If you understand, I came from this side (Dixon's right), I touched him and go to the other side.

"When he turned I was not surprised, I was laughing. I can imagine in Croatia because maybe they don't know who Allan Dixon is."
