Tottenham appoints Igor Tudor as interim manager until season's end following Thomas Frank's dismissal amid relegation concerns.
Tottenham Hotspur are to appoint former Juventus boss Igor Tudor as interim manager until the end of the season, according to British media reports, after they sacked Thomas Frank with the club five points above the relegation zone.
Tudor, who has managed several clubs across Europe, including Galatasaray and Olympique de Marseille, last led Serie A side Juventus, and reports said on Friday (February 13, 2026) he has agreed a short-term deal to manage the North London club.
The 47-year-old guided Juve to a fourth-place finish in Serie A last season but the Croatian was sacked in October — seven months after his appointment — following an eight-match winless run across all competitions.
Tudor will have a baptism of fire when he takes charge of his first match against Premier League leaders and bitter rivals Arsenal in the North London derby on February 22.
Tottenham are currently 16th in the Premier League standings.
A former centre back who spent the majority of his career at Juventus, Tudor won back-to-back Serie A titles as a player between 2001 to 2003 and also reached the 2003 Champions League final.
