Tottenham Hotspur appointed Igor Tudor as interim head coach on 14 February 2026 following the dismissal of Thomas Frank. The club currently occupies 16th place in the Premier League, sitting five points above the relegation zone after a run of two wins in 17 league matches. According to the Premier League, Tudor typically employs a 3-4-2-1 formation with a focus on an aggressive man-to-man pressing structure.
Spurs suffered a 5-2 defeat against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on 10 March, with goals from Pedro Porro and Dominic Solanke failing to offset defensive errors. Per the Guardian, the club hierarchy tasked the 47-year-old Croatian with improving consistency and results immediately. Tottenham previously lost 3-1 to Crystal Palace on 5 March and 2-1 to Fulham on 1 March.
Injuries have impacted the squad, with Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie recently sidelined. The team next faces Liverpool at Anfield on 15 March before a home fixture against Nottingham Forest on 22 March.
