Tottenham Hotspur have mutually parted ways with head coach Igor Tudor in March 2026 after seven winless-leaning matches in charge in London, following a poor Premier League run and Champions League exit, due to continued team decline, injury crisis, and relegation fears, as the club confirmed his immediate departure and plans for a replacement, ending a short 44-day reign.
Tottenham Confirm Igor Tudor Departure After Poor Run
Tottenham Hotspur confirmed Igor Tudor’s exit on Sunday.
The decision followed mutual agreement between both parties.
The club is now searching for a new head coach.
Tudor leaves after just seven matches in charge.
The announcement came amid growing pressure on results.
Spurs are struggling near the relegation zone.
Chaotic Start and Early Tactical Decisions
Tudor’s tenure began with immediate controversy.
He replaced and reintroduced backup goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky after 17 minutes in Madrid.
That decision reflected instability in team management.
Spurs then collapsed in domestic competition.
They collected only one point from five Premier League games.
However, they did earn a 1-1 draw at Liverpool against expectations.
Heavy Defeats and Domestic Collapse
Tottenham suffered a 4-1 home loss to Arsenal.
That result set a negative tone early on.
Further defeats followed against Fulham, Crystal Palace, and Nottingham Forest.
The club failed to win a league match since late December.
Injuries heavily weakened the squad throughout the season.
Spurs also exited all domestic cup competitions.
Pressure on the manager increased after each setback.
Champions League Exit Adds to Pressure
Tottenham’s European campaign ended in disappointment.
They beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 in the second leg.
However, they still exited 5-2 on aggregate.
That result confirmed their Champions League elimination.
It also deepened concerns about the club’s direction.
Personal Tragedy and Final Match Absence
Tudor did not attend post-match media duties recently.
He had just learned of his father’s death.
The club later acknowledged his bereavement in its statement.
Spurs lost 3-0 to Nottingham Forest in that match.
The defeat left them just one point above relegation danger.
Potential Replacements Under Consideration
Tottenham are not in action for two weeks.
Their next match is an away trip to Sunderland.
Roberto De Zerbi has been linked with the role.
Sean Dyche is also reportedly under consideration.
The club wants Premier League experience and stability.
A new appointment is expected soon.
