Tottenham names Igor Tudor interim manager till end of season

LONDON — Tottenham Hotspur have moved swiftly to fill the managerial void left by Thomas Frank’s departure, announcing on Saturday that Igor Tudor will take the reins as interim manager through the remainder of the season. The decision comes just three days after the club parted ways with Frank, signaling an urgent bid to steady the squad ahead of the campaign’s final stretch.

Tudor, whose appointment was confirmed by the club, steps into the role immediately, tasked with galvanizing a squad in transition and securing results that will define Tottenham’s trajectory in both domestic and European competitions. With only a handful of fixtures remaining, the Croatian’s short-term mandate is clear: stabilize performances, maximize points, and lay groundwork for whoever assumes permanent charge in the summer.

The timing of the switch underscores the board’s desire to avoid prolonged uncertainty in the dugout. By opting for an internal interim solution rather than an external quick-fix, Tottenham aim to maintain continuity within the dressing room while buying time to conduct a comprehensive search for a long-term successor.
