Igor Tudor takes charge of his first Tottenham match on Sunday when Arsenal visit N17 in the North London Derby but how has he fared in other derbies at previous clubs? football.london has trawled through the history books to take a look
There's no bigger game than Arsenal for Igor Tudor to kickstart his tenure as Tottenham interim boss.
The Premier League leaders are seeking to complete a double over Spurs following the 4-1 massacre at the Emirates Stadium back in November when Eberechi Eze grabbed a hat-trick.
And if Tudor's derby history is anything to go by, Tottenham are facing an incredibly tough task to take any points from their arch-rivals. football.london has trawled back through Tudor's managerial history and his record in derbies is quite worrying. He's bossed 23 in total and won just four times, collecting two draws while suffering 17 loses.
Tudor is from Split and there's arguably no fiercer rivalry than the Eternal Derby in Croatia between Hajduk and Dinamo Zagreb. The new Spurs boss managed Hajduk twice but won just two of 11 matches against Dinamo.

He lost his first ever derby 3-1 in May 2013 before being thrashed 5-1 by Dinamo in the Croatian Super Cup. The 47-year-old then collected a 2-0 home win before drawing 2-2 in the reverse fixture but things did not improve from there, losing 4-0 and 2-1 in the Croatian Cup quarter-final before suffering three consecutive league defeats (2-0, 3-2 and 3-0).
Tudor's next venture was with PAOK in Greece and while their main rivals are Aris Thessaloniki - the Derby of Thessaloniki - he did not manage against Aris as they were in the third-tier at the time.
He did, however, square off against intercity rivals Olympiacos, losing all three matches during the 2015-16 campaign (2-0, 1-0 and 3-0) without scoring a goal.
It was then time to head to Turkey with Galatasaray but he did not have much luck there, either. He lost both Istanbul derbies against Besiktas (1-0 and 3-0) before losing 1-0 and drawing 0-0 with Fenerbahce. Again from those four matches, his team did not score.
Tudor then headed back to Hajduk where he did pick up an impressive 3-2 away win at Dinamo following a 2-0 home defeat in the return fixture.
A new country then beckoned as Tudor headed to the Stade Velodrome to take charge of Marseille. He was in the dugout for three Le Classiques and lost both Ligue 1 encounters (1-0 and 3-0). He did pick up a 2-1 home win in the Coupe de France prior to his departure.
During his short time at Lazio, the former Juventus centre-back took charge of one Derby della Capitale but lost 1-0 away at Roma.
It was then onto Turin where things would improve on the derby front. While he did not face Torino in the Turin Derby, he picked up an impressive 4-3 win over Inter in the Derby d'Italia in September.
The optimists might argue that Tudor is technically heading into Sunday's North London Derby on the back of a derby win - even if his record is generally poor elsewhere.
