Igor Tudor has been appointed the interim manager of Tottenham Hotspur, replacing Thomas Frank.
Frank was sacked on Wednesday, less than 12 hours after a defeat at home to Newcastle.
Former Croatia international defender Tudor, 47, fits the Spurs brief with vast experience and a reputation for making an impact at short notice, and will have the opportunity to compete for the job on a permanent basis should he impress during his short trial.
Former Juventus and Croatia defender Tudor has been a manager since 2013 but has worked in 12 jobs in the last 11 years - at Hajduk Split (twice), PAOK, Karabukspor, Galatasaray, Udinese (twice), Hellas Verona, Marseille, Lazio, Juventus and now Tottenham.
Spurs chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and sporting director Johan Lange, who have led the search, want to consider a wider pool of candidates in the summer for the next permanent head coach.
