"The club turned to Tudor after making checks on the former Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic and the former RB Leizpig manager Marco Rose. They did not want to commit to a long-term appointment and looked for a short-term hire capable of making an instant impact. It is felt that Tudor's record fits the bill. The former Juventus defender has had spells at Hajduk Split, Paok, Karabukspor, Galatasaray, Udinese, Verona and Marseille, as well as an 11-game stint with Lazio."
"Pochettino, who had five excellent years in N17 before his dismissal in November 2019, is off the market because he will take charge of the US at this summer's World Cup. But the Argentinian could be available after the tournament and has flirted with the idea of resuming his relationship with Spurs on multiple occasions. He remains a fan favourite and had his name chanted during Frank's final game the 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle on Tuesday."
Tottenham have reached agreement to appoint Igor Tudor as interim manager until the end of the season, leaving the door open for Mauricio Pochettino to return in the summer. The club checked alternatives including Edin Terzic and Marco Rose before selecting Tudor. Tudor left Juventus in October after the Serie A side went eight games without a win and has been out of work since. Spurs sacked Thomas Frank amid a poor run and sought a short-term appointment able to make an immediate impact. Tudor’s managerial resume includes spells across Europe and an 11-game stint with Lazio. Pochettino is committed to the World Cup but could be available afterwards and remains popular with supporters.
