Spurs sack head coach Igor Tudor after just six weeks and no wins in Premier League

Tottenham head coach Igor Tudor has left the club after just six weeks in charge.

Tudor did not win a single one of his five Premier League games, drawing just one, and losing the other four, having replaced Thomas Frank in February.

Spurs said on X: "We can confirm that it has been mutually agreed for head coach Igor Tudor to leave the club with immediate effect.

"Tomislav Rogic and Riccardo Ragnacci have also left their respective roles of goalkeeping coach and physical coach.

"We thank Igor, Tomislav and Riccardo for their efforts during the past six weeks, in which they worked tirelessly."

The club added that "an update on a new head coach will be provided in due course".

His 44 days at the helm now represents one of the shortest managerial tenures in Premier League history.

Only three managers had less time at the top: Sam Allardyce served just 30 days at Leeds in May-June of 2023, Ange Postecoglou had 39 days at Nottingham Forest last Autumn, and Les Reed had 40 days at Charlton at the end of 2006.

It comes a week after Tottenham went down to a 3-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest.

Tudor learned of the death of his father, Mario, immediately after the game and was unable to fulfil his post-match commitments.

Recognising his loss, Spurs' statement today said: "We also acknowledge the bereavement that Igor has recently suffered and send our support to him and his family at this difficult time."

With seven games left in its Premier League season, the club is now without a head coach, and just one place and a single point above the relegation zone.

Players not away for international duties will be trained by assistant coach Bruno Saltor in the interim, the Press Association understands.

The side aims to appoint a new head coach in time for its next fixture, on 12 April, against Sunderland.

Among the potential contenders are former Brighton boss, Roberto De Zerbi, and the former manager of Burnley, Everton, and Nottingham Forest, Sean Dyche.

Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust urged the club to now make a "wise choice" in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

The post called for a manager "we can all be proud of and who can bring some much needed success and enjoyment to our long suffering fanbase".
