Tottenham announce Igor Tudor exit after seven matches | OneFootball

Tottenham, currently in 17th place in the Premier League and locked in a direct battle to stay in England’s top flight, announced this Sunday the departure “by mutual agreement” of Croatian coach Igor Tudor after just seven matches in charge.

With five defeats in those games, Tottenham were eliminated from the Champions League and, in the Premier League, hold only a one-point advantage over the relegation zone.

The 47-year-old coach did not give interviews after the 3-0 defeat last weekend against Nottingham Forest, a direct rival in the fight to avoid relegation, after learning shortly after the match that his father had passed away.

“We confirm that the departure of head coach Igor Tudor was agreed by mutual consent, with immediate effect,” the club said in a statement.

“We also acknowledge the bereavement Igor has recently suffered and send our support to him and his family at this difficult time,” the club added, also saying that an announcement regarding the new head coach would be made “in due course.” The next match will be in two weeks, away to Sunderland.

Tudor was appointed in February, after the dismissal of Thomas Frank, but was unable to stop the team’s downward spiral, and it is now fighting to avoid its first relegation since 1977.

Tottenham have been eliminated from all cup competitions and have not won a Premier League match since December.
