LATEST: Tottenham Hotspur Part Ways With Igor Tudor After 7 Games in Charge

BREAKING: Igor Tudor Sacked By Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur have parted ways in mutual terms with first-team manager Igor Tudor, despite the 47-year-old Croatian having been in the dugout for just seven games.

Brought in to steady the ship in the wake of Thomas Frank’s troubled time at the helm, Tudor was supposed to be a calming, trustworthy and authoritative presence in the dressing room, with clubs such as Juventus, Lazio and Marseille on his CV.

However, he has instead received criticism from the outset – unable to get the Spurs players to buy into his brand of football, he lost all of his first four games in charge.

A league draw with Liverpool and then a 3-2 second-leg victory over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last 16 ensured he was not going to leave North London empty-handed, but by that point, minds had already been made up.

We can confirm that it has been mutually agreed for Head Coach Igor Tudor to leave the Club with immediate effect.

Tomislav Rogic and Riccardo Ragnacci have also left their respective roles of Goalkeeping Coach and Physical Coach.

Tottenham’s most recent result, a dismal 3-0 defeat at home to fellow relegation candidates Nottingham Forest, proved to be the final nail in the coffin – Tudor had taken the club closer to relegation than ever before and had to be dismissed before their predicament became any more precarious.

His reign of 44 days at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium puts him third on the list of shortest Premier League managerial reigns. Former Spurs coach Ange Postecoglou was fired after 39 days at Nottingham Forest earlier this season and was beaten only by Sam Allardyce and his mere 30 days in charge at Leeds United in 2023.

With seven games remaining this season, Tottenham sit just one point above 18th-placed West Ham and two back from Nottingham Forest, putting them bang in the middle of what promises to be the most unpredictable relegation battle in years.

A number of coaches have been touted to take Tudor’s place, with the likes of Ryan Mason, Sean Dyche and Tottenham fan favourite Mauricio Pochettino all in the running. However, former Monaco, Frankfurt and Monchengladbach boss Adolf Hütter currently sits as the bookies' favourite, with the Austrian having been a free agent since October of last year.

His impact will need to be immediate – Spurs sit on the brink of dropping down to the Championship for the first time since 1977, and should they fail to seal survival, it is unlikely that Hutter’s reign will last significantly longer than Tudor's.
