Tottenham Hotspur have parted company with interim head coach Igor Tudor. Tudor departs with Spurs just one place and one point above the drop zone following a 3-0 home defeat to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest in their last Premier League outing. Tudor replaced Thomas Frank to try and halt Spurs' slide down the table, but has overseen five defeats and a UEFA Champions League exit.

Igor Tudor has parted company with Tottenham Hotspur with immediate effect.

The move follows Spurs' 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest which leaves the club one place and one point above the Premier League relegation zone.

The Croatian coach did not conduct any post-match interviews in the aftermath of the defeat after being told of the death of his father.

Tudor lost five of his seven matches in charge during a 44-day spell, with his only win coming in the second leg of Spurs' UEFA Champions League last-16 defeat to Atletico Madrid.

"We can confirm that it has been mutually agreed for head coach Igor Tudor to leave the club with immediate effect," a club statement read.

"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."

Spurs will now search for their third manager of the season following Thomas Frank's dismissal in February.

The north London club were 16th in the Premier League and five points above the relegation zone when Frank departed, and now find themselves 17th, just one point above 18th-place West Ham United with seven games to go.

The focus will now be on appointing Tudor's successor, with two weeks until Spurs return to Premier League action against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on April 12.

They are on a winless run of 13 matches in the Premier League and have yet to record a win in domestic competition in 2026.

Tudor leaves Spurs with a win percentage of just 14.3%, by some distance the worst record of his managerial career. By comparison, his previous-lowest win percentage was with Greek side PAOK, where he managed 37.8%.
