Tottenham Hotspur have sacked head coach Igor Tudor after just 44 days in charge, bringing an abrupt end to one of the shortest managerial reigns in the club’s history.
The Premier League side confirmed that Tudor left the club by mutual agreement following a disastrous run of results that left Spurs battling to avoid relegation.
Tudor, who was appointed in February 2026 after the dismissal of Thomas Frank, was brought in to stabilise the team’s form. However, his tenure failed to produce the desired turnaround.
During his six-week spell, Tottenham failed to win a single league match, suffering defeats against teams including Arsenal, Fulham, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.
The club managed only one notable victory under his leadership, a Champions League win over Atletico Madrid but it proved insufficient to ease mounting pressure as domestic struggles deepened.
By the time of his departure, Spurs were sitting just above the relegation zone, in a worse position than when he took over.
Tudor’s exit marks the second managerial change for Tottenham this season, highlighting ongoing instability at the club. Thomas Frank, who replaced Ange Postecoglou earlier in the campaign, was also dismissed following a poor run of results.
The latest development underscores a turbulent period for the North London side, who are now scrambling to find a solution as the season enters its final stages.
Tottenham are expected to begin an urgent search for a new head coach capable of steering the club away from relegation danger.
With only a handful of matches remaining, the focus will now shift to securing enough points to preserve their long-standing Premier League status.
