Johan Lange has set the tone for Igor Tudor’s spell in north London, with Tottenham’s sporting director outlining exactly what the club expects from their interim head coach in the months ahead.
Tottenham Hotspur have finally confirmed Igor Tudor’s appointment as interim manager following the sacking of Thomas Frank.
The former Juventus man will be aiming to bring some stability to north London following a very up-and-down season so far under the guidance of former boss Thomas Frank.
His first game in charge as the new Tottenham manager will come at the weekend, February 22, when Spurs take on Arsenal in the north London derby.
Tottenham objective for Igor Tudor outlined by Johan Lange
Sporting director Johan Lange has now clearly explained Igor Tudor’s objective as Spurs’ interim manager, speaking on the club’s official channels.
Explaining what Tudor is expected to deliver in the role following his appointment, Lange said: “Igor brings clarity, intensity and experience of stepping into challenging moments and producing impact.
“Our objective is straightforward – to stabilise performances, maximise the quality within the squad and compete strongly in the Premier League and Champions League.”
It appears Lange chose his words carefully, not mentioning the dreaded ‘relegation’ word.
Permanent Tottenham decision could hinge on interim impact
With Tudor’s contract set to expire this summer, focus for Tottenham is expected to turn to securing a permanent manager.
Several names have been thrown into the mix, with Mauricio Pochettino and De Zerbi considered among the favourites to land the Spurs job in the next few months.
However, there is a chance that Tudor will be considered for the role if he delivers a convincing performance in both the Premier League and Champions League in the months ahead.
