Overview
- Tottenham confirmed the Croatian’s appointment on Saturday on a deal through June, subject to a work permit.
- Sporting director Johan Lange said Tudor’s brief is to stabilise performances, maximise the squad’s quality and compete strongly in the Premier League and Champions League.
- The club fast-tracked the hire so he can begin training on Monday to prepare for the North London derby at Arsenal on February 22.
- Spurs are 16th in the table and roughly five points clear of the drop after one league win in 11 and no Premier League victories in 2026 under Thomas Frank, who was sacked earlier this week.
- Tudor, 47, had been out of work since Juventus dismissed him in October 2025 after eight matches without a win, and he becomes Tottenham’s sixth head coach since 2019.
