Igor Tudor leaves Tottenham by mutual consent as relegation crisis peaks
Igor Tudor leaves Tottenham by mutual consent as relegation crisis peaks Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Igor Tudor has left his role as head coach by mutual consent after just 44 days in charge. The Croatian manager was appointed on February 14 following the dismissal of Thomas Frank. Tudor’s short spell in North London ended after a difficult run of results in the Premier League.
Spurs collected only one league point during his time in charge. His tenure lasted seven matches in total across all competitions. Tottenham confirmed that members of Tudor’s coaching staff have also departed the club.
Goalkeeping coach Tomislav Rogic and physical coach Riccardo Ragnacci have both left alongside him. The club are now working to appoint a new head coach in the coming days. Tottenham hope the new manager will be in place before the majority of the squad return to training after the international break.
That would allow the incoming coach roughly ten days to prepare for Spurs’ next fixture. Tottenham’s next match is an away trip to Sunderland on April 12. In the meantime, training will be overseen by Tudor’s former assistant Bruno Saltor.
Saltor will supervise the small group of players who have remained at the club’s training base during the international break. Tudor’s final game in charge was a 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. The loss was Tottenham’s fourth defeat in five Premier League matches.
