Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement with Igor Tudor to take over as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. The Croatian will replace Thomas Frank, who was sacked on Wednesday following a defeat to Newcastle that left the club 16th in the Premier League, just five points above the relegation zone.
Tudor, 47, is expected to lead his first training session on Monday. The former Juventus boss signed a contract extension in the summer of 2025 but was dismissed in October after a winless run of eight games. He had taken over from Thiago Motta in March 2025 and guided the club into the Serie A top four before the slump.
Standard Sport understands that Tudor will be considered for the permanent role if he performs well, but it is more likely that Spurs will pursue other candidates in the summer, with Mauricio Pochettino tipped for a return. Tudor previously managed Galatasaray, Udinese, Marseille and Lazio, and won the Croatian Cup with Hajduk Split in 2013.
