Tottenham have reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Igor Tudor to be interim manager until the end of the season.
The north London club have been looking for an interim appointment after sacking Thomas Frank on Wednesday, seeing the 47-year-old former Juventus boss pursued for the role. Tudor brings experience to the position after previously being at the helm of the Turin giants last year. He also managed Marseille and Galatasaray.
According to The Athletic, Vinai Venkatesham and Johan Lange have driven for the Croatian's appointment on a contract until the end of the season with no permanent option included.
Igor Tudor
Igor Tudor was sacked by Juventus in October
Tudor was sacked by Juventus in October after seven months in charge with the club eighth in Serie A off the back of a run of eight games without a win.
The former defender played nine years at Juventus before starting his managerial career at his boyhood club Hajduk Split, since taking charge of PAOK, Karabukspor, Galatasaray and Udinese before returning to the Old Lady under Andrea Pirlo as a coach.
Tudor stepped back into the hotseat at Hellas Verona before moving to Marseille and then subsequently being named Juventus manager in 2025 after a short spell at Lazio. However, he won just 10 of his 24 games in charge.
He looks to be the leading candidate to replace Frank after the Dane was sacked following the 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle United on Tuesday.
Frank arrived from Brentford in the summer but failed to win any of the club's last eight league games, and winning just twice in 17, leaving them floundering above the relegation zone in 16th.
The Dane replaced Ange Postecoglou in the Tottenham dugout, and the Aussie insisted that Frank deserved to be sacking during an appearance on The Overlap.
He said: "It's a fair departure from me, anyone who studies the game, it wasn't like it was a progression from me.
"I built that sort of squad for want of a better word to play a certain way for a number of years and he's sort of coming in and like we said, it's a curious club Tottenham."
