Tottenham are set to hand Igor Tudor a big boost after two defeats

1 hour ago 3

Igor Tudor is reportedly set to receive some good news after failing to get any points from his first two games as Tottenham’s interim head coach.

Tudor, who sounded confident of getting a tune out of the Tottenham players in his first press conference in the job, does not do so any longer.

The Croat has got a big reality check after seeing his side outclassed by Arsenal and Fulham in London derbies.

Following his side’s defeat at Craven Cottage, Tudor admitted that he has ‘a lot of problems’ to fix at Spurs, but he may soon get some help doing that.

Tottenham are set to appoint Igor Tudor’s trusted number two

Bruno Saltor, Tomislav Rogic, and Riccardo Ragnacci all arrived at Tottenham two weeks ago, along with Tudor, on short-term contracts.

However, there was one glaring absentee: Ivan Javorcic, who was Tudor’s assistant in his last two spells at Juventus and Lazio.

The Telegraph have now described Javorcic as Tudor’s ‘trusted assistant’, and they reveal that the Spurs interim boss is hoping to be boosted by his arrival.

The report explains that Javorcic’s arrival has been held up by a work-permit issue, but there is now optimism that it could be sorted and the 47-year-old could take his place alongside Tudor at Hotspur Way.

Tudor is going to need all the help he can get at Spurs

Tudor has admitted that the challenge at Tottenham is more difficult than he expected, but remains convinced it is one he can tackle.

The Tottenham interim coach has also admitted that Spurs players are not at the expected physical level to carry out certain game plans.

Additionally, the Croat is dealing with an extremely bloated injury list, and it cannot be easy navigating these issues without his number two beside him.
