Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the immediate departure of Head Coach Igor Tudor after a tenure that lasted 44 days. The decision follows a 3\u20130 defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend and comes amid a wider review of the coaching setup.<\/p>\n
Tudor was absent from postmatch duties after that game after learning of his father\u2019s passing after the final whistle, a loss the club acknowledged in a brief statement on Sunday afternoon. The statement confirmed changes to the backroom team alongside the coach\u2019s exit.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can confirm that it has been mutually agreed for Head Coach Igor Tudor to leave the Club with immediate effect,\u201d it read. \u201cTomislav Rogic and Riccardo Ragnacci have also left their respective roles of Goalkeeping Coach and Physical Coach.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thank Igor, Tomislav and Riccardo for their efforts during the past six weeks, in which they worked tirelessly. We also acknowledge the bereavement that Igor has recently suffered and send our support to him and his family at this difficult time.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn update on a new Head Coach will be provided in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n
The club sit 17th in the Premier League table, one point clear of West Ham United inside the relegation zone, with seven matches remaining. A quirk of the calendar has given Tottenham additional preparation time: an international break and an early FA Cup exit mean the team will not be in action until Sunday, April 12, when they travel to Sunderland.<\/p>\n
Sunderland\u2019s home form, meanwhile, is significantly stronger than Tottenham\u2019s: they have earned 26 points at home compared with Spurs\u2019 10. Following the trip to Sunderland, the new-look managerial setup will host Brighton & Hove Albion before critical fixtures against Wolverhampton Wanderers on April 25 and a weekend meeting with Leeds United on the weekend of May 9.<\/p>\n
The club has pledged to provide further information on the appointment of a new head coach in due course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
