Igor Tudor has verbally agreed to take charge of Tottenham on a deal until the end of the season.<\/p>\n
Spurs dismissed Thomas Frank on Wednesday following a dismal display in a 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle.<\/p>\n
That loss left the club 16th in the Premier League and only five points above the relegation zone.<\/p>\n
It is understood Tottenham’s players have been given time off until Monday due to the club being without a weekend match after their FA Cup exit in January, and Tudor, 47, could well be in place to greet the returning squad.<\/p>\n
Former Croatia international Tudor was dismissed by Juventus last October following an eight-match run without a win.<\/p>\n
Prior to his six-month stint at Juventus, Tudor has also had managerial spells with Galatasaray, Udinese, Marseille and Lazio.<\/p>\n
Spurs had been looking for an interim head coach for the final three months of the 2025\/26 campaign before selecting from a wider pool of candidates, which is likely to include former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino after his United States commitments at the World Cup.<\/p>\n
Marco Rose, formerly of RB Leipzig, and ex-Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic were also reported as candidates for the interim role.<\/p>\n
Tottenham\u2019s next fixture is a north London derby at home to rivals Arsenal on 22 February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Igor Tudor has verbally agreed to take charge of Tottenham on a deal until the end of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":296558,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-296557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=296557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=296557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=296557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
