"Talks progressed quickly in the past 24 hours as Spurs accelerated their search following Thomas Frank's sacking on Monday after just eight months in charge. Sources have told ESPN that Tottenham looked at a small pool of candidates and identified Tudor as a leading option given his vast head coach experience, which most recently included a seven-month spell at Juventus."
"The 47-year-old has verbally agreed to take the job but the finer points of his contract are still to be sorted. Sources have told ESPN that Spurs are confident Tudor will be in place by Monday, when the players return from a five-day break. Their next match is against north London rivals Arsenal at home on Feb. 22. Tudor left Juventus in October after an eight-game winless run and has previously managed various clubs across Europe including Hadjuk Split twice, Udinese twice, Marseille and Lazio."
Tottenham are finalising the appointment of Igor Tudor as interim head coach until the end of the season. Tudor has verbally agreed to take the job while the finer points of his contract are still to be finalised. Tottenham expect Tudor to be in place by Monday when players return, with the next match against Arsenal on Feb. 22. Tudor left Juventus in October after an eight-game winless run and previously managed Hajduk Split (twice), Udinese (twice), Marseille and Lazio. Tudor won two Serie A titles as a player with Juventus. Spurs sit 16th, five points clear of relegation, with a Champions League round-of-16 tie next month. Mauricio Pochettino, Roberto De Zerbi, Oliver Glasner and Andoni Iraola remain potential permanent options.
