Tudor agrees to interim manager role at Tottenham until end of season – reports

Feb 13 : Tottenham Hotspur are to appoint former Juventus boss Igor Tudor as interim manager until the end of the season, according to English media reports, after they sacked Thomas Frank with the club five points above the relegation zone.

Tudor, who has managed several clubs across Europe, including Galatasaray and Olympique de Marseille, last led Serie A side Juventus, and reports said on Friday he has agreed a short-term deal to manage the North London club.

The 47-year-old guided Juve to a fourth-place finish in Serie A last season but the Croatian was sacked in October – seven months after his appointment – following an eight-match winless run across all competitions.

Tudor will have a baptism of fire when he takes charge of his first match against Premier League leaders and bitter rivals Arsenal in the North London derby on February 22.

Tottenham are currently 16th in the Premier League standings.
