Igor Tudor leaves Tottenham after seven games

What’s Happening

So get this: Spurs, facing the serious prospect of relegation, now face their most important decision in a generation as they look to appoint another manager Story by Igor Tudor leaves Tottenham after seven games Miguel Delaney and Jamie Braidwood Sun, at 6:17 PM UTC · 3 min read Igor Tudor has left Tottenham by “mutual consent” as the danger of relegation from the Premier League forced another desperate move from the club in their bid to avoid dropping out of the top flight for the first time since 1977.

Tudor, a left-field appointment when he replaced Thomas Frank in February, departs after just 44 days , having flopped to improve the mood around the club. He is also in mourning after being informed of the death of his father following the defeat to Nottingham Forest last week. (it feels like chaos)

The dismal 3-0 home loss to fellow strugglers Forest left Spurs on the precipice of the relegation zone, only a point above West Ham with seven matches of the season remaining.

The Details

They are winless in their last 13 Premier League games, their longest run without a top-flight success in 91 years.

The Croatian’s man-management skills were seriously questioned after he replaced first-choice keeper Guglielmo Vicario with deputy Antonin Kinsky in Madrid, despite the Czech having only played twice for Spurs this season, and those only in the Carabao Cup. Kinsky was handed his Champions League debut away to Atletico but was hooked after a calamitous opening 17 minutes in which he conceded three times, with Tudor criticised further for not acknowledging the 22-year-old as he headed down the tunnel.

Why This Matters

The decision of who to appoint for the rest of the campaign is perhaps the club’s most important in a generation.
