Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the appointment of former Juventus boss Igor Tudor as interim manager until the end of the season.
Tudor replaces Thomas Frank, who was sacked on Wednesday, with Spurs sitting 16th in the Premier League, just five points above the relegation zone.

The Croatian reached a verbal agreement with the club on Friday, and the deal was finalised on Saturday.
“It is an honour to join this club at an important moment,” Tudor said.
His immediate priority will be steering Tottenham clear of relegation danger and restoring consistency after a dismal run of two wins in 17 league matches under Frank.
“I understand the responsibility I have been handed, and my focus is clear: to bring greater consistency to our performances and compete with conviction in every match,” Tudor added.
“There is a strong quality in this playing squad, and my job is to organise it, energise it and improve our results quickly.”
Tudor previously managed Juventus, guiding them to a fourth-place finish late in the 2024/25 campaign after losing just one of his first 11 matches in charge.
However, he was dismissed in October following an eight-game winless streak that left the Italian side eighth in Serie A.
The 47-year-old has also had spells at Lazio, Marseille, Verona, Hajduk Split, Galatasaray and Udinese. He arrives with a reputation for stabilising struggling teams in the short term.
Tottenham sporting director Johan Lange backed Tudor to steady the club during a turbulent period.
“Igor brings clarity, intensity and experience of stepping into challenging moments and producing impact,” Lange said.
“Our objective is straightforward: to stabilise performances, maximise the quality within the squad and compete strongly in the Premier League and Champions League.”
