Tottenham Appoint Igor Tudor as Interim Head Coach Until Season’s End

The short-term hire signals a stabilisation push before a wider summer search for a permanent coach.

Overview

  • The club confirmed Tudor’s appointment on Saturday, three days after sacking Thomas Frank following a 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle.
  • Tottenham sit 16th in the Premier League, five points above the relegation zone, underscoring the urgent need for improved results.
  • The agreement runs only to the summer, with multiple reports saying there is no option to make it permanent, preserving a pursuit of candidates such as Mauricio Pochettino, Roberto De Zerbi and Andoni Iraola.
  • Tudor’s first match is the North London derby against Arsenal on February 22, with players due back in training on Monday.
  • Tudor vowed to organise and energise the squad to lift performances, while sporting director Johan Lange said he brings clarity, intensity and experience in challenging moments.
