Spurs Turn to Tudor: Can He Save Them From Drop?

Tottenham Hotspur has named Igor Tudor as their new head coach, with the agreement set to run until the conclusion of the current season. The immediate priority for the Croatian manager is to secure the club's position in the Premier League. Tudor joins a squad that currently sits 16th in the league standings, precariously close to the relegation zone.

Tudor's mandate is clear: to enhance team performance, achieve positive results, and climb the Premier League table. He is known for his ability to instill organization, intensity, and a competitive spirit, aiming to make an immediate impact.

The club is looking to appoint a long-term successor in the summer. Tudor, who often employs a three-at-the-back formation, takes over a team that has struggled, winning only two of their last seventeen league matches. He has previously managed clubs like Juventus, Lazio, Marseille, Galatasaray, and Udinese, often succeeding in stabilizing teams during challenging periods.

At Juventus, Tudor successfully guided the team to fourth place and Champions League qualification in his previous stint. More recently, he took over Lazio in March 2024, improving their league position and securing Europa League qualification within his nine-game tenure before resigning.
