Igor Tudor was recently introduced as the interim manager of Tottenham Hotspur following the dismissal of Thomas Frank due to the team's poor performance in the Premier League. With Tottenham sitting precariously at 16th place, the club has only managed to secure 29 points from 7 wins, 8 draws, and 11 losses, raising concerns about relegation given the three last-placed teams will descend to lower divisions. Tudor emphasized the need for the team to compete with conviction as they aim to turn their season around.

The appointment comes at a critical time for the team and for Cuti Romero, who is the captain. Given the club's current standings, Tudor's responsibilities include instilling confidence and improving team dynamics to lift their performance in upcoming matches. The squad's morale is likely a significant focus, as the players must believe in their ability to succeed and avoid relegation.

Tudor's previous coaching experiences and approaches will be closely scrutinized as he steps into this high-pressure role. The next few matches will be pivotal not only for the club's survival in the Premier League but also for Tudor's potential future with the team beyond the interim period. The fate of the players and the direction of Tottenham’s season are now closely tied to Tudor’s ability to implement effective strategies quickly and rally the squad together under the current challenges they've faced.
