Leeds United’s key struggling rivals Tottenham Hotspur have announced that head coach Igor Tudor has left the club with immediate effect.

Spurs turned to former Juventus boss Tudor after sacking Thomas Frank but the troubled London outfit are still yet to win a Premier League game in 2026.

Last weekend’s 3-0 defeat at home to fellow relegation rivals Nottingham Forest left fourth-bottom Spurs just one point off the dropzone and the club have now announced that Tudor has left his position by mutual consent.

A statement released by the club on Sunday afternoon read: “We can confirm that it has been mutually agreed for head coach Igor Tudor to leave the club with immediate effect.

“Tomislav Rogic and Riccardo Ragnacci have also left their respective roles of goalkeeping coach and physical coach.

“We 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.

“An update on a new head coach will be provided in due course.”

Boss leaves after bagging just one point

Tudor lasted just seven games in charge of Spurs, five of which ended in defeat.

His sole victory came in the Champions League second leg at home to Atletico Madrid who still progressed on aggregate.

Tudor took just one point from his five Premier League games in charge via the 1-1 draw at Liverpool.

Sean Dyche and Robert De Zerbi are the two market leaders to replace him, followed by Marco Silva, ex-Monaco boss Adi Hutter and then Mauricio Pochettino who has long been linked with a Spurs return.

Pochettino is in charge of the USA national side who were hammered 5-2 by Belgium on Saturday night.

It is being reported that Spurs will appoint a new head coach in the next few days.
