Tottenham Hotspur have parted ways with Igor Tudor after just 44 days in charge with the club periliously close to being relegated from the Premier League.
Tudor was brought in as a short-term option to replace former manager Thomas Frank who was sacked in January but his appointment has been a disaster.
Taking charge for just seven games, Tudor has overseen four Premier League defeats in five games as well as Spurs’ exit from the Champions League after they were beaten 7-5 on aggregate by Atletico Madrid.
Tottenham now sit 17th in the table and are just one point above West Ham United with seven matches of the season remaining.
Announcing Tudor’s departure the club released a statement which reads: “We can confirm that it has been mutually agreed for Head Coach Igor Tudor to leave the Club with immediate effect.
“Tomislav Rogic and Riccardo Ragnacci have also left their respective roles of Goalkeeping Coach and Physical Coach.
“We thank Igor, Tomislav and Riccardo for their efforts during the past six weeks, in which they worked tirelessly. We also acknowledge the bereavement that Igor has recently suffered and send our support to him and his family at this difficult time.
“An update on a new Head Coach will be provided in due course.”

The appointment of Tottenham’s next head coach will be crucial for the long-term stability of the club and there are plenty of candidates to take over from Tudor.
It remains to be seen whether the Spurs hierarchy will appoint another manager on a short-term basis or if they will choose a long-term option whose first goal will be to avoid dropping out of the English top-flight.
Rumoured names to take over include former boss Mauricio Pochettino, who is currently in charge of the US men’s national team, Harry Redknapp and Sean Dyche.
