Igor Tudor’s first words to Spurs fans after accepting Tottenham interim head coach role
Igor Tudor has wasted little time outlining his intentions as Tottenham Hotspur head coach, with the interim boss making clear both his motivation for taking the role and what he hopes to deliver before the season concludes.
Tottenham Hotspur have finally landed their Thomas Frank replacement, with Igor Tudor joining Spurs on a short-term basis as interim manager.
The former Juventus manager has signed a five-month deal and will take charge of the rest of Tottenham’s Premier League and Champions League fixtures.
With Spurs in a relegation scrap, the expectation is that Tudor will help steady the ship and keep Tottenham in the Premier League.
Igor Tudor explains why he chose Tottenham and his north London aims
The new Tottenham manager has now opened up for the first time since moving to north London, telling fans exactly why he chose Spurs and what he aims to achieve.
Speaking to the club’s official site, he said: “It is an honour to join this Club at an important moment.
“I understand the responsibility I have been handed and my focus is clear. To bring greater consistency to our performances and compete with conviction in every match.
“There is strong quality in this playing squad, and my job is to organise it, energise it and improve our results quickly.”
Igor Tudor’s interim record offers reason for optimism
While the Croatian manager has been sacked fairly often, Tudor’s record as an interim boss throughout his career is solid – and that is exactly what Spurs need at the moment as they aim to get wins on the board.
Tudor also deploys a 3-4-2-1 formation, and that could work at Tottenham, given their lack of wingers due to the current injury crisis.
There is no doubt the new Tottenham manager will be hoping fans of the Lilywhites get behind him as he looks to salvage an already disappointing campaign.
