Igor Tudor has spoken for the first time since becoming Tottenham head coach. During the five-minute interview, the 47-year-old discussed his style of play, non-negotiables he expects from Spurs stars and also revealed the similarities in his methods to that of former head coach Thomas Frank.
On the latter topic, he said: "Style is more important than the system." He also hinted at being flexible with his decisions and will develop a system that suits the players available.
Ahead of his stint at Tottenham, it was stated that Frank is more focused on playing principles and tactical flexibility than on adhering to a fixed formation. That was evidenced by his pivot a back three, a shape that Tudor also deploys.
On demands of players, Tudor also stated: "Everyone needs to give something, something extra. We can't use excuses." The former Juventus head coach had kicked off the interview by making his feelings clear on his appointment.
He began: "Big challenge for me, big honour to be here and I'm very happy. In the same way I don't think too much about myself because I'm focused on work to do."
