Tudor Takes Charge: Can He Fix Spurs' Discipline Crisis?

Interim manager Igor Tudor has been tasked with improving team discipline and performance for the remainder of the season. The club has faced significant disciplinary problems, accumulating four red cards across all competitions this term. Captain Cristian Romero has received two of these dismissals, highlighting a key area for Tudor to address as the team strives to move away from relegation positions.

Tudor's appointment is seen as an effort to bolster leadership within the squad. The club acknowledges a deficit in this area, evidenced by attempted signings like Conor Gallagher and Andy Robertson in the January transfer window. The aim is to introduce players who can serve as positive role models and rebalance the influence of South American players, who reportedly follow Cristian Romero.

This strategic change, involving both coaching and potential player acquisitions, reflects a broader effort to correct the tone set by senior players and the coach. Tudor's background, having played with and worked alongside numerous high-profile figures at Juventus, including Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo, positions him to handle the existing characters in the dressing room.
