Igor Tudor has finalised his coaching staff after becoming Tottenham's interim head coach until the end of the season
Igor Tudor has decided on his Tottenham coaching staff for the coming months.
The 47-year-old former Juventus boss has taken over on a short-term contract until the end of the season after Thomas Frank was sacked after just seven months in charge.
Tudor takes over with Spurs 16th in the Premier League table and in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Now football.london understands Tudor's coaching staff will include, subject to work permits, Ivan Javorcic as assistant coach, Riccardo Ragnacci as physical coach and Tomislav Rogic as goalkeeping coach.

Leaving Spurs along with Frank are assistant coaches Justin Cochrane and John Heitinga along with head of performance Chris Haslam, as well as first team coach analyst Joe Newton. Heitinga was only appointed last month as Frank's new assistant to take over from Matt Wells, who left for his first managerial role at MLS side Colorado Rapids.
Goalkeeping coach Fabian Otte will remain with Spurs despite Rogic's arrival. Set-piece coach Andreas Georgson has been one of the bright spots of Tottenham's campaign so far and he has also kept his job, as has individual development coach Cameron Campbell.
Frank departed after only seven months, following a run of two wins in 17 league fixtures, and his sacking was confirmed last Wednesday.
Spurs have moved quickly to replace the Dane in their bid to move away from the bottom three and Tudor's appointment was confirmed on Saturday.
Tudor said: “It is an honour to join this Club at an important moment. I understand the responsibility I have been handed and my focus is clear. To bring greater consistency to our performances and compete with conviction in every match.
“There is strong quality in this playing squad, and my job is to organise it, energise it and improve our results quickly.”
Sporting Director Johan Lange added: “Igor brings clarity, intensity and experience of stepping into challenging moments and producing impact.
“Our objective is straightforward – to stabilise performances, maximise the quality within the squad and compete strongly in the Premier League and Champions League.”
