New coach starts tenure against Arsenal on Sunday
Tudor insists ‘we have enormous quality in the squad’
Igor Tudor has said Tottenham are in “an emergency situation” but issued a guarantee that his new team would escape relegation.
Tudor is a veteran of short-term appointments and has performed rescue jobs at Udinese, Verona and Juventus. He offered a curt “100%” in response to questions on his confidence in Spurs’s survival. The Croat’s tenure begins on Sunday with a north London derby at home to the wobbling Premier League leaders, though a lengthy injury list leaves him with only 13 fit senior players.
“What I saw this week was the quality of the players,” said Tudor, contracted until the end of the season after replacing the sacked Thomas Frank last weekend. “We have enormous quality in the squad.”
