Igor Tudor has agreed to become Tottenham interim head coach until the end of the season.
The last details still need to be finalised with the former Juventus head coach, but there is a verbal agreement in place.
Tudor will fly back to Croatia before taking training at the start of next week ahead of Spurs' north London derby against Premier League leaders Arsenal next Sunday, live on Sky Sports.

Spurs will look to name a permanent successor to Thomas Frank, who left after Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Newcastle, in the summer.
Tottenham are 16th in the Premier League table, five points above the drop zone, and have won just twice in their last 17 league games.
Spurs want coach with record of making immediate impact
Spurs are looking to appoint an experienced head coach who has a track record of going into clubs and making an immediate impact and Tudor fits that bill.
He was appointed at Juventus and Lazio in March of each of the last two seasons and stabilised results in the short term.
At Juventus, he inherited a team from Thiago Motta that sat fifth in Serie A, outside the Champions League places, after back-to-back defeats that capped a disastrous February in which the club were knocked out of the Champions League and the Coppa Italia.
Tudor guided Juve to fourth in Serie A and sealed Champions League qualification after losing just one of his 11 games in charge. This earned the Croatian a two-year contract, although Juventus sacked him just four months later after results deteriorated.
At Lazio, Tudor took over from Marizio Sarri in March 2024 on an 18-month contract. The former Chelsea boss had resigned after a fifth defeat in six games with Lazio in ninth.
Tudor won five of his nine games as Lazio boss, losing just once, to secure a seventh-placed finish and Europa League qualification. He resigned at the end of the season after three months in charge.
