Tottenham sack Tudor

Tottenham issued a club statement on March 29 confirming Igor Tudor’s departure by mutual consent and saying goalkeeping coach Tomislav Rogic and physical coach Riccardo Ragnacci had also left the club. Tudor had been appointed by Spurs on February 14 as interim head coach after Thomas Frank was sacked on February 11 following a poor run of results. Tottenham confirmed the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi on March 31 on a five‑year contract to become the club’s third head coach of the season. Multiple outlets reported De Zerbi’s deal was agreed with no relegation release clause and includes performance-related incentives tied to Premier League survival. De Zerbi, out of work since leaving Marseille in February, arrives with recent Premier League experience at Brighton and a continental résumé that Tottenham’s hierarchy cited as a reason for the long-term commitment. The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust publicly voiced concern about the appointment because of De Zerbi’s past public support for Mason Greenwood, prompting debate among fan groups ahead of his start. The club says De Zerbi’s move will be completed once his work permit is secured, leaving a narrow window for the new head coach to prepare for the run-in with seven Premier League fixtures remaining.
