Tottenham Hotspur has announced the appointment of Igor Tudor as their interim head coach after parting ways with Danish coach Thomas Frank. This decision follows a string of disappointing results which left the team struggling in the Premier League, currently sitting at 16th place without a league win in 2026. Tudor, who previously managed teams in Italy and France including Juventus and Marseille, will be stepping into English football for the first time.

Thomas Frank was let go after just eight months in charge due to the team's poor performance, having achieved only 13 wins in 38 matches during his tenure. The club's management will be hoping that Tudor can instill a sense of urgency and effectiveness in the squad, which has been underperforming. Tudor's track record with Italian clubs makes him a notable choice, and he faces the challenging task of reversing Tottenham's fortunes before the summer.

Tudor's first match as Tottenham's head coach is set for February 22, where he will lead the team against fellow London club, showing that there's little time for transition as the Premier League season is in full swing. His appointment reflects Tottenham's urgent need for a turnaround in form, as the club seeks to improve its standing and compete effectively in England's top tier of football.
