The arrival of Igor Tudor at Tottenham immediately led to a complete reshuffle of the technical staff. Announced as interim coach until the end of the season, the Croatian took office on Monday, the day the team returned to training, and several assistants left the club. John Heitinga, who only arrived on January 15 with a two and a half year contract, left his post after only 32 days, preferring not to be part of the new structure put in place by Tudor. Justin Cochrane and Chris Haslam have also left the club.
This reorganization comes as Tottenham are struggling in the Premier League, with three defeats and two draws in their last five matches, despite successes in the Champions League against Dortmund and Frankfurt. To support Tudor, three new members are now joining the staff: Ivan Javorcic as assistant, Riccardo Ragnacci for physical preparation and Tomislav Rogic for goalkeeper training according to the Daily Mailwith the objective of redressing the situation and bringing new life to the team.
