Tottenham Hotspur have appointed Igor Tudor as their new head coach until the end of the season.
Tudor takes over from Thomas Frank, who was sacked by Spurs earlier in the week.
The Croatian’s priority will be keeping Spurs in the Premier League.
The North London club currently occupy 16th position on the Premier League table and just five points above the relegation zone.
A club statement said as much upon the announcement, reading: “Igor joins us with a clear focus: to improve performances, deliver results and move us up the Premier League table.
“His mandate is straightforward – bring organisation, intensity and competitive edge to the squad at a decisive stage of the campaign.”
Tudor expressed his delight following the appointment.
“It is an honour to join this club at an important moment. 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,” he said.
“There is strong quality in this playing squad, and my job is to organise it, energise it and improve our results.”
