Tottenham Hotspur have parted ways with head coach Igor Tudor by mutual consent after just seven matches in charge, as the club continues to struggle near the Premier League relegation zone.

The Croatian manager, who took over in February, lost five of his seven games during a brief 44-day stint, leaving Spurs just one point above the drop zone and out of the Champions League. His exit follows a difficult run, including a heavy 3-0 defeat to fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest.

In a statement, the club confirmed the decision and expressed support for Tudor, who recently suffered the loss of his father. Tottenham added that an announcement on a new head coach would be made soon.

Despite arriving with a reputation for quick impact, Tudor was unable to halt the club’s downward slide. His only win, a 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid, was not enough to overturn a heavy first-leg deficit in the Champions League. In the league, he managed just one point from five games, including a draw against Liverpool, while suffering defeats to Arsenal, Fulham, Crystal Palace, and Nottingham Forest.

Tottenham’s season has been plagued by injuries and poor form, with the team failing to win a league match since December and exiting all cup competitions. The club now faces a serious battle to avoid relegation, a scenario not seen since 1977.

Names like Roberto De Zerbi and Sean Dyche have been linked with the job as Spurs look for an experienced hand to steer them clear of danger in the final stretch of the season.
