Igor Tudor leaves post as Tottenham boss amid Premier League relegation fears

Tottenham have parted ways with Igor Tudor.

Tottenham boss Igor Tudor has left the club, it has been announced.

The Croatian won just one game of his seven in charge at the helm and leaves Spurs dangling precariously above the Premier League's relegation places by just a point.

Roberto De Zerbi, Adi Hutter and Harry Redknapp have now all emerged as earlier front-runners for the job, as the Lilywhites seek yet another new appointment in the dugout.

His appointment was met with mixed feelings following Thomas Frank's departure, especially given that he had never managed in England, let alone the Premier League, previously.

Tudor leaves after winning just one game of his seven, against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, and off the back of an embarrassing 3-0 loss against Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Following the defeat to Forest it was announced that Tudor's father, Mario, also recently passed away, and Tudor did not complete any post-match duties following the defeat against Forest.

In a statement released on Sunday afternoon, Tottenham Hotspur said: "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."

De Zerbi has emerged as the early favourite with the bookmakers to take over, and the Italian enjoyed a solid spell with Marseille up until his high-profile departure in February of this year.

Former Monaco boss Adi Hutter has also been mentioned and is currently out of work after leaving the Ligue 1 outfit back in October 2025.

In FourFourTwo's view, Ryan Mason seems like the kind of candidate they should be going for to help them steer clear of relegation. If it worked at Manchester United, why can't it work for Spurs? Someone who knows the club and the DNA is what we feel is needed at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
