Tudor Explains Why He Has NOT Enjoyed His First Days as Spurs Manager

Interim head coach Igor Tudor is 100% confident Tottenham, currently 16th and five points above relegation, will avoid the drop and challenge Arsenal in the north London derby.

  • On Friday, Igor Tudor, interim head coach, said he is 100 per cent confident Tottenham will avoid relegation after being appointed late last week and will lead in Sunday's north London derby against Arsenal.
  • The club cited Tudor's track record of delivering an instant improvement as a key reason for his appointment after Thomas Frank was sacked last week, with Spurs sitting 16th and five points above relegation.
  • Johan Lange, sporting director, noted `Igor has been here for five days` and Tudor, who has never worked in England but won Serie A twice with Juventus, trains only 13 players.
  • Johan Lange, Tottenham sporting director, said Igor Tudor could get the job permanently if successful and it is definitely something high up on the list, with focus on the league and Champions League.
  • The club's transfer budget — flagged by Vinai Venkatesham earlier this year — faces scrutiny as Johan Lange and Vinai have overseen a disastrous season, while sources say Mauricio Pochettino is a leading contender.
