"A coach presiding over 12 remaining league matches, the Champions League being a lower priority with Spurs five points off the relegation zone, made no promises of living up to the club's attacking traditions. When you start pre-season and then you have 50 days in pre-season and you have 20 players, of course then we see the style, Tudor said. This is an emergency, an emergency situation, when you need to find fast what suits the 10 plus three players and it's totally different."
"Arsenal have won three from eight league matches in 2026 so Sunday offers Spurs opportunity to sabotage their bitter rivals and forge a path towards safety. Tudor said he had big respect for [Mikel] Arteta who made an amazing team, one of the best in the world with the style of play and amazing mentality in the team, with 11 players behind the ball, pressing from the back. So it is a big challenge for us."
Igor Tudor has been appointed Tottenham manager on a contract until the end of the season following Thomas Frank's sacking. He offered a 100% guarantee that Tottenham will avoid relegation and described the situation as an emergency. Tudor has prior experience performing short-term rescue jobs at Udinese, Verona and Juventus. A lengthy injury list leaves only 13 fit senior players available. Twelve Premier League matches remain and the Champions League has become a lower priority with Spurs five points above the relegation zone. Tudor emphasized adapting tactics quickly to suit a reduced squad and praised Arsenal's strong, pressing style under Mikel Arteta as a significant challenge.
