FANS were convinced bumbling Igor Tudor approached the wrong bald man thinking it was Arne Slot.
The Tottenham boss has endured a nightmare start to life in the North London hotseat.
He lost his first four matches – including the 5-2 defeat at Atletico Madrid – as Spurs plunged into a serious relegation scrap.
And things appeared to go from very, very bad to somehow even worse before Sunday’s match away at Liverpool even got underway.
The TV cameras showed Tudor on the Anfield sideline before kick-off.
And he went up to a bloke standing with his arms crossed on the side of the pitch in a dark coat.
Tudor tapped him on the shoulder to say hello and shake hands before the game got underway – possibly thinking it was opposite number Slot.
But when he turned around, it was not Slot – but was in fact Tottenham’s very own player liaison officer Allan Dixon, who many reckon is a lookalike for Brad Friedel.
Dixon was standing just in front of the Tottenham dugout when Tudor tapped his side and gave him a side hug.
The Tottenham backroom staff member tapped Tudor on the front.

Tudor immediately smiled and styled it out if he was mistaken.
But viewers noted that he quickly looked across towards the Liverpool bench and walked over with his hand outstretched.
However, the cameras did not pick up whether Tudor went straight over to greet Slot – although they were pictured embracing before the game.
Either way, whether Tudor mucked up or knew it was Dixon, supporters flooded social media with reaction.
One said: “Funny scenes – Igor Tudor thought he was greeting Arne Slot but it was another bald man.”
Another wrote: “AWKWARD MOMENT ALERT! Igor Tudor Tottenham Manager tried to greet Arne Slot in the Liverpool vs Spurs. Only to realise it was actually a staff member Allan Dixon, another bald man. Classic case of mistaken identity!”
A third added: “Did Igor Tudor think this was Arne Slot?”
A fourth typed: “Tudor 100 per cent thought that was Slot.”
A fifth commented: “Igor Tudor confused Allan Dixon for Arne Slot.”
And a final user replied: “Tudor genuinely thought that this was Arne Slot. Kind of sums it all up really doesn’t it.”
The Tottenham goalkeeping struggles continued in the first half when Guglielmo Vicario got a hand to Dominik Szoboszlai’s free-kick – but could only help it into the back of the net.
