Igor Tudor leaves Tottenham after Prem relegation blow | Football | Sport

In a statement, Spurs wrote: “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. We also acknowledge the bereavement that Igor has recently suffered and send our support to him and his family at this difficult time. An update on a new Head Coach will be provided in due course.”

Tudor will leave north London with Tottenham precariously perched on the dreaded dotted lines of relegation. Spurs are only one point above 18th placed West Ham United, but do hold a substantially better goal difference over the Hammers.

Tottenham are the only Premier League club who are yet to register a single victory in 2026. After the international break, they travel to Sunderland on April 12 and then host Brighton and Hove Albion on the 18th.

Following the visit of the Seagulls is a potentially make or break clash away to 20th placed Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have registered a victory over Liverpool and a draw with Premier League leaders Arsenal at the Molineux this year. Spurs’ final four matches will be away to Aston Villa, at home to Leeds United, away to Chelsea and at home to Everton.

At present, it’s unclear as to who will be in the dugout for the final relegation run-in. Sean Dyche, who was sacked by Nottingham Forest in February, has been linked with the role.

Moreover, former Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi is also understood to be admired by Spurs, but reports in Italy understand the Italian would prefer to takeover at the end of the season.
