The mandate for the former Juventus and Marseille boss is clear: save the season. Tudor walks into a club in crisis, with Tottenham currently languishing in 16th place in the Premier League. The disastrous tenure of Frank has left the Lilywhites just five points above the relegation zone, a reality that seemed unthinkable at the start of the campaign.
Tudor is renowned for his ability to make an immediate impact, a trait that Venkatesham and Lange will be desperate to see replicated in north London. The Croatian coach is known for his no-nonsense approach and high-intensity style, qualities that have been sorely lacking during a run that saw Spurs fail to win in their last eight league games. While domestic form has been abysmal, Tudor also inherits a strange paradox; despite the relegation scrap, he will lead the club into the last-16 of the Champions League, offering a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak season.
