Following Thomas Frank’s dismissal due to terrible results, Igor Tudor was appointed Tottenham manager, hoping to mirror his past salvation jobs at Juventus and Lazio. Spurs, who haven't played in the second tier since 1978, suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat against Arsenal in Tudor’s debut. This extended their winless streak to nine games, leaving them perilously close to the relegation zone in sixteenth place. When asked if this was his toughest challenge yet, Tudor agreed, citing the obvious difficulties but emphasizing his motivation to succeed.
He admitted the situation is harder than anticipated but believes strictly in training ground improvements, focusing on physical conditioning and restoring mental belief. While the Champions League draw approaches, the Croatian insisted he won’t waste energy worrying about European opponents. Instead, his focus remains entirely on domestic survival. Fortunately, key defenders Kevin Danso and Pedro Porro are available for Sunday’s crucial away match at Fulham.
