Tottenham will make a surprising decision by entrusting the interim of their team to Igor Tudor, former coach of Juventus, until the end of the season. According to The Timesthis choice is seen as a real gamble, Tudor having never managed in the Premier League and not having spent more than a year in his last three clubs (Marseille, Lazio, Juventus). The Croatian will have to manage the fight for maintenance and the Champions League, where his past experiences in this competition could be an asset. However, Tottenham are keen on a possible return of Mauricio Pochettino next summer, while Tudor could be considered for a permanent role if his results are successful.
He won 3 of his first 5 matches at Juventus and Lazio, and 5 of his first 6 at Marseille, before experiencing more complicated periods. His demanding and intense style of play could appeal to Tottenham supporters tired of Thomas Frank’s caution, but the real question remains his ability to adapt to English football and stabilize a fairly fragile locker room.
