Tottenham Hotspur has announced Igor Tudor as their provisional head coach.
Mr. Tudor assumes leadership in the capital following the conclusion of Thomas Frank’s eight-month tenure, which ended after their Premier League loss to Newcastle United on Wednesday.
The Croatian strategist had been unemployed since his dismissal from Juventus in October, a period during which the Serie A powerhouse experienced an unusual eight-game streak without a victory.
Beyond his time with the Bianconeri, his past coaching roles encompassed numerous teams such as Lazio, Marseille, Udinese, and Hajduk Split, where he secured the Croatian Cup trophy in 2013.
Upon his appointment, Igor stated: “It is a privilege to become part of this organization during a pivotal period.
“I comprehend the duties entrusted to me, and my objectives are unambiguous.”
“To instill more uniformity in our displays and contend with belief in each game.”
“Significant talent exists within this roster, and my task involves structuring it, invigorating it, and swiftly enhancing our outcomes.”
Prior to settling on the 47-year-old for a strictly temporary engagement, Spurs had evaluated ex-Bundesliga managers Edin Terzić and Marco Rose as potential successors to Frank.
Mr. Tudor’s inaugural match at the helm of the Lilywhites is scheduled for Sunday’s north London derby against Arsenal, the Premier League frontrunners, whose advantage has diminished to four points.
