Tottenham agree deal with surprise candidate Igor Tudor for interim manager role
Igor Tudor replaces Thomas Frank after a poor run; Spurs sit five points above relegation, with Tudor expected to stabilize the team until season's end.
- On Friday, Tottenham agreed a deal for Igor Tudor to become interim head coach until the summer, with Tudor expected to take training on Monday.
- Spurs moved quickly to find an interim after Thomas Frank was sacked earlier this week, with the club five points above the relegation places, BBC Sport sources said.
- The 47-year-old has a varied managerial CV, having managed Galatasaray, Udinese, Marseille and Lazio before recently leading Juventus from March 2025 until his dismissal after a winless run of eight games.
- Standard Sport says Tudor will be a candidate for the full-time head coach role if he succeeds, but the club appears likelier to seek Mauricio Pochettino for the permanent appointment.
- As a former player he won Serie A twice with Juventus and featured in Croatia national team's 1998 World Cup third place; his only managerial silverware is the 2013 Croatian Cup with Hajduk Split.
