Tottenham Hotspur have appointed a new manager with Igor Tudor taking charge of the final 12 games of the Premier League campaign.
Spurs have no time to waste when it comes to getting points on the board in the Premier League, with Thomas Frank sacked, and the club languishing in 16th place in the table.
Finish the sentence: Igor Tudor’s two number tens at Tottenham should be _____ and _______
Tudor is a bit of a left-field appointment, to say the least. He’s had a number of managerial jobs before, with limited success, and the hope will be that he can hit the ground running with Tottenham.
Troy Deeney makes intriguing Igor Tudor claim
Deeney has been discussing the new Tottenham manager on social media, with the pundit interviewed on TikTok by CBS Sports regarding the appointment.
He believes there is one obvious reason why the Croatian has got the chance to make a name for himself at Tottenham and it’s to do with his style of play.
The ex-Premier League striker said: “For me, the only link I can see is he plays a 3-4-2-1 system. That’s the only reason I can see, and he’s willing to take a short-term job. Is this a good fit for a Tottenham Hotspur team that are struggling, lack of confidence, and trying to stay in the Premier League?”
Tottenham really need Tudor to hit the ground running and things couldn’t get much harder for him first up, with a North London derby against Arsenal to come next weekend.

Tudor has never worked in the Premier League, and with Tottenham in a perilous position, that does seem like a very risky thing to do.
Tudor has had some success in his managerial career and although Deeney is sometimes wide of the mark with some of his opinions, he seems to be spot on with his assessment of this appointment.
