Tottenham Hotspur have sacked Igor Tudor after an extremely brief and disappointing spell in charge, bringing his ill-fated tenure at the club to an end after just seven games, the club has announced.
The Croatian coach, who was appointed in mid-February as an interim measure to steer the side away from relegation danger following the dismissal of Thomas Frank, failed to secure a single Premier League victory during his time at the helm.
His record consisted of one draw and multiple heavy defeats, including a damaging 3-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest that left Spurs hovering just one point above the drop zone with only a handful of matches remaining in the season.
The decision to part ways comes amid mounting pressure on the board and growing fears of an historic relegation for the north London club. Tudor arrived with a reputation as a reliable short-term firefighter from previous roles at clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, but he was unable to arrest the team’s alarming slide, with results continuing to deteriorate and performances lacking cohesion.
Reports suggest the club and the manager mutually agreed to terminate the contract during the current international break, allowing Spurs to seek a fresh approach for the critical run-in.
This latest managerial upheaval adds to what has been a chaotic campaign for Tottenham, highlighting deeper issues at the club as they scramble to avoid the drop while planning for a potential rebuild in the summer.
