Tottenham Hotspur has officially appointed Igor Tudor as their new manager until the end of the current season after dismissing Thomas Frank. This decision comes as the Spurs find themselves underperforming in the Premier League, sitting at 16th place and only five points above the relegation zone. Johan Lange, Tottenham's sporting director, explained the rationale behind the appointment, emphasizing the need for immediate improvement and direction as the team grapples with a disappointing season.

Frank's tenure at Tottenham was short-lived, having joined from Brentford in the summer after Ange Postecoglou's departure, during which the team had managed to secure a spot in the Europa League. However, following a series of poor performances that culminated in a managerial change, Tudor steps in with a mandate to turn the club's fortunes around. With his previous experience at clubs like Juventus, Marseille, and Galatasaray, there are expectations that Tudor can reinstate Tottenham's competitive edge in the league.

The club's decision to act quickly showcases the urgency felt within the management, as they look to avoid falling into a relegation battle. Tudor’s six key objectives will serve as a framework for his goals during his tenure, illustrating the pressure he faces right from his appointment. The coming weeks will be critical as Tottenham strives to stabilize and improve their league standing under Tudor's leadership.
