Tudor’s former clubs include Juventus and Marseille
Door remains open for summer Pochettino return
Tottenham have reached an agreement for Igor Tudor to become their interim manager until the end of the season, leaving the door open for Mauricio Pochettino to return this summer.
The club turned to Tudor after making checks on the former Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic and the former RB Leizpig manager Marco Rose. The former Croatia international has been out of work since he left Juventus in October after the Serie A club went eight games without a win.
Spurs, who are in a fight to stay in the Premier League after a dismal run, have been working through their list of candidates since sacking Thomas Frank this week. They did not want to commit to a long-term appointment and looked for a short-term hire capable of making an instant impact. It is felt that Tudor’s record fits the bill. The former Juventus defender has had spells at Hajduk Split, Paok, Karabukspor, Galatasaray, Udinese, Verona and Marseille, as well as an 11-game stint with Lazio.
