Igor Tudor has left his role as Tottenham head coach by mutual agreement, the club have announced.

Spurs made the surprise decision to turn to Tudor after Thomas Frank was dismissed on February 11.

"We can confirm that it has been mutually agreed for Head Coach Igor Tudor to leave the Club with immediate effect," said the north London club in a statement.

"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."

Meanwhile, it is understood the plan is to now appoint a new head coach in the coming days who will be in place for when the players are back from international duty, at which point Spurs will have approximately 10 days to prepare for our fixture at Sunderland.

That decision should keep Spurs up.

Who next?

I’m not so sure it’ll keep them up. Too many players out of position and a fair few who care about nothing but themselves as they’ll just go to another club next season - their agents will sort that for them - so they haven’t a care in the world.

If they have an sense Dyche, but they'll appoint the biggest name they can find

As long as it's not BBM it matters not.

This is what we love about the pyramid system, it can happen to anyone in either direction. I hope they do get relegated just for the fun of it.

Tottenham Hotspur want to convince Roberto de Zerbi to become their new permanent head coach, according to sources.

Igor Tudor has left the club by mutual consent after just 44 days in charge, with chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and sporting director Johan Lange tasked with appointing his replacement.

It is understood Tottenham had resolved to part ways with interim boss Tudor following last Sunday's 3-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest, a result that left them just one point clear of the relegation zone, but wanted to give the Croat a period of time to mourn the death of his father last weekend.

De Zerbi, who is available following his exit from Marseille earlier this season, is a primary target and Spurs, prior to the official announcement of Tudor's departure, tried to ascertain whether the Italian is open to the job.

Multiple sources have told BBC Sport that initial indications are De Zerbi is open to becoming the club's next permanent head coach, but would prefer to wait until the end of the season when he knows whether the club are still in the Premier League.

It now remains to be seen whether Tottenham renew their efforts to land former Brighton boss De Zerbi immediately following Tudor's departure.
