Tottenham Names Igor Tudor Interim Head Coach Through Season's End

The Croatian is handed a short-term rescue brief to lift 16th-place Spurs with greater organization and intensity.

Overview

  • The club confirmed Tudor’s appointment until the end of the season following Thomas Frank’s dismissal earlier in the week.
  • Tottenham sit 16th in the Premier League, five points above the relegation zone after just two wins in their last 17 league matches.
  • Sporting director Johan Lange outlined a mandate to stabilize performances and keep the team competitive in both the league and the Champions League.
  • Tudor’s first match is scheduled for the North London derby against Arsenal on February 22, with a Champions League last‑16 tie to follow.
  • The former Juventus boss arrives with a ‘firefighter’ reputation, a preference for a back three and high pressing, and a recent Juve exit after an eight‑match winless run, drawing warnings from pundits about reputational risk.
