Tottenham reached an agreement with former Juventus head coach Igor Tudor to become their new manager.
Spurs sacked Thomas Frank this week less than 12 hours after the 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle United on Tuesday evening.
Tottenham have considered both short-term and long-term options following Frank’s exit with Marco Rose and Edin Terzic on the club’s shortlist, while Mauricio Pochettino remains a potential candidate after the USA’s campaign at the World Cup this summer.
Spurs held talks with Tudor and his agent Anthony Seric on Friday morning and the 47-year-old has now accepted a contract which runs until June.

A verbal agreement has now been reached with Spurs keen to have a manager in place before the team’s next Premier League fixture against Arsenal on February 22.
Tudor was appointed as Juventus’ head coach in March last year but was sacked in October with the team on a run of eight games without a win.
The former centre-back, who made 174 appearances as a player for Juventus, has also had managerial spells at Hajduk Split, PAOK, Karabukspor, Galatasaray, Udinese, Hellas Verona, Marseille and an 11-game stint with Lazio.
Spurs, meanwhile, currently sit 16th in the Premier League and five points above the relegation zone.
