Tottenham Hotspur's new firefighter has been named coach Igor Tudor (47). Tottenham, which is even feeling threatened by the relegation zone, has made a super-strong move.

British media 'BBC' reported on the 14th (Korea Standard Time) that "Tottenham has confirmed the appointment of Tudor as the interim head coach who will be responsible for the rest of the season."

Tottenham lost 1-2 against Newcastle United last time, narrowing its gap with the relegation zone to five points. In the end, manager Thomas Frank was replaced, and Tottenham's leaders moved quickly to bring in Tudor.

Tudor's debut match is between Arsenal and the North London derby. Less than a week has been given to Tudor, who will be in charge of the squad from Monday's training session.

Tudor is known to play aggressive football. BBC said, "Tudor's style is very intense. "Players have to play a lot and strong pressure is essential," he said. Pierre Etienne Minongio, a reporter for France's leading newspaper L'Equipe, also stressed to players that they cannot play unless they play. Dmitry Faye, who was a favorite during his time in Marseille, also boldly excluded him when he did not play, he said. "There is even a joke that if Tudor had Lionel Messi but did not play, he would not have used him."

He is from Croatia Legend. Tudor played more than 150 games for Juventus as a player and experienced two Serie A championships. As a manager, he also played for Heiduk Split, Galatasaray, Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus. In particular, during the Marseille period, he showed hot attacking football based on a 3-5-2 formation and ranked third in the league.

However, his recent move at Juventus was somewhat disappointing. He succeeded Thiago Mota as interim manager in March 2025 and won the official manager position by leading the team to fourth place, but was replaced in seven months amid a feud with newly appointed general manager Damien Comoli and a lackluster win in eight consecutive games. At the time, Tudor made noise by publicly expressing his dissatisfaction with the transfer market and criticizing the players.

Nevertheless, it is clear why Tottenham chose Tudor. "Tottenham's leadership wanted aggressive and active football, away from the defensive style that was criticized under Frank," BBC said. "Tudor has a single eye for improving the team's performance in a short period of time. "I highly appreciated Lazio's unbeaten record in the first two months of his appointment," he said.

First of all, Tudor is a temporary manager who leads the team until the end of this season. "If you leave a strong impression in the early days of your appointment, as in the case of Manchester United's Michael Carrick, we cannot rule out the possibility of leading to discussions about the official managerial position," the BBC predicted.

Tottenham is rapidly collapsing after Son Heung-min (34) left for Los Angeles FC. Coach Frank was dismissed just six months after Son Heung-min transferred, and Tottenham came to appoint a temporary head coach for three months.
