  /  dentjokerbane

Tottenham confirm that interim manager Tudor has been dismissed, with his contract, originally set to expire at the end of the season, terminated early.

Tottenham Hotspur Announcement

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.

Tudor's reign in numbers

Zero: Tudor won none of his five Premier League games in charge of Spurs, his only point coming in the 1-1 draw with Liverpool on March 15.

One: The points gap between Spurs and the relegation zone. They were five points clear at the time of Tudor's appointment in 16th place, but he leaves with the gap having been cut to one point, with Spurs now in 17th.

17: The number of minutes before Tudor substituted Antonin Kinsky during the disastrous Champions League last 16 first leg against Atletico Madrid, when the goalkeeper was at fault for two of the Spanish side's goals.

20: The number of goals Spurs conceded across Tudor's seven games in charge in all competitions, at an average of 2.8 per game.

27: Opta's current percentage chance of Spurs being relegated this season, up from just four per cent before Tudor's first game in charge, the 4-1 defeat at home to Arsenal on February 22.

Merse: Spurs' relegation more believable than it's ever been

Sky Sports' Paul Merson:

"I was at Wembley on Sunday for the Carabao Cup final, but I watched the Spurs game there. Oh man.

"At first, Tottenham were on top, and if they had scored, they would have gone on to win the game. But they didn't, and they did what they've become famous for this season. They let in one - and then capitulate.

"Spurs getting relegated is more believable today than it's ever been. Last week, they got a result against Liverpool, who were poor on the day, and then they played Atletico Madrid and won the game.

"You're suddenly thinking: if they play like this, they'll be alright and they'll have no chance of going down. But fast forward to the next Sunday, and you're going: Wow. Wow.

"It's really worrying for Tottenham. Really worrying. And if they fall into the bottom three - and they could before they next play - then it becomes difficult for them.

"They're going to Sunderland next, and they'll be reunited with their fans after the derby win. Then it's Brighton, who are playing as well as anybody right now.

"Spurs also have Chelsea away with two games to go - they don't want to be going there needing points, because that's Chelsea's biggest game of the season.

"And then West Ham play Leeds at home on the final day of the season. You couldn't write it, could you?"
