Igor Tudor has moved swiftly to address the noise surrounding Tottenham relegation fears, offering supporters a strong guarantee.
Despite results faltering, the Tottenham Hotspur higher-ups often choose their words carefully when addressing the club’s current struggles, frequently avoiding the dreaded word relegation.
However, Spurs fans are not oblivious to the fact that their club is struggling and is in a relegation scrap, with many beginning to worry whether their side will stay up next season.
New interim boss Igor Tudor has been brought in to steady the ship, and many Tottenham supporters will be hoping he can keep them well clear of the drop zone with 12 games left to play this season.
Tottenham boss Igor Tudor sends clear relegation message to Spurs fans
Speaking to football.london, Igor Tudor delivered a direct response when asked whether Spurs will remain a Premier League club next season, offering a one-word guarantee designed to calm nerves.
When questioned if Tottenham will be a Premier League team next season, Tudor replied: “100%”
In the same interview, Tudor was also asked about his first few days in charge and made it clear his focus is firmly on the task at hand rather than settling in.

He added: “I did not enjoy because I am not here to enjoy. I am here to work. It is the first moment and there is work to do. It is a privilege to be here.”
Spurs can look to Igor Tudor track record for reassurance
Tottenham fans will now be hoping that Tudor can begin his Spurs tenure with a win against bitter rivals Arsenal, a side they have not beaten since 2022.
History suggests Tudor has form when it comes to making an immediate impact.
When he arrived at Juventus in March last year, he guided the side to five wins, three draws and just one defeat in his opening nine matches, securing Champions League football.
Notably, he produced the same return from his first nine games at Lazio the previous season.
In fact, earlier in his managerial career, the former Juventus manager took charge of Udinese and oversaw a swift turnaround, lifting them from the foot of the table and steering them clear of relegation within six matches.
