Tottenham have parted company with their third head coach in the past nine months as they look for someone to save them from relegation

The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust have had their say on the confirmation that Igor Tudor has left the relegation-threatened club.

It has been a delicate situation at Spurs this week with Tudor having found out after the 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest that his father Mario had died. The 47-year-old interim head coach flew back to Croatia for the funeral this week as Tottenham had to decide what came next with the club 17th in the Premier League table and just a point above the drop zone.

football.london reported on Tuesday that there was a growing belief inside the club that a mutual parting of the ways with Tudor was the likeliest scenario with the 47-year-old then able to focus on family matters, and Spurs on the huge pressures of what lies ahead.

That came to pass on Sunday with confirmation of the Croatian's departure after a winless spell of 45 days at the helm.

The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust then released their own comment on social media regarding Tudor's departure.

"With thanks to Igor and his team for their efforts, and wishing him and his family time to come to terms with their loss," it read. "In a season of bad calls, let’s hope we now see a wise choice for the remainder of the campaign.

"Someone who understands the club and is up to the task in front of them: retaining our Premier League status. Someone we can all be proud of and who can bring some much needed success and enjoyment to our long suffering fanbase."

football.london understands that Spurs CEO Vinai Venkatesham and sporting director Johan Lange are looking to have a new head coach in place in time for when the players are back from international duty, giving them all 10 days to work together ahead of the Premier League game at Sunderland. Coach Bruno Saltor has remained and will lead training for those handful of Tottenham players at Hotspur Way at the moment.

The club's statement on Tudor's exit had read: "We can confirm that it has been mutually agreed for head coach Igor Tudor to leave the club with immediate effect. Tomislav Rogic and Riccardo Ragnacci have also left their respective roles of Goalkeeping Coach and Physical Coach.

"We thank Igor, Tomislav and Riccardo for their efforts during the past six weeks, in which they worked tirelessly. We also acknowledge the bereavement that Igor has recently suffered and send our support to him and his family at this difficult time. An update on a new head coach will be provided in due course."
