The club confirmed on Sunday that the decision was made by mutual consent, ending Tudor's time in charge after only seven matches. He had been appointed in mid-February following the dismissal of Thomas Frank, initially tasked with stabilising Spurs' season during a critical run-in.

However, results failed to improve. Tottenham lost five of Tudor's seven games in all competitions, winning just once, as they slid to 17th in the Premier League-only one point above the relegation zone with seven matches remaining. His final game was a damaging 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest on March 22, a result that deepened concerns over the club's top-flight status.

In an official statement, Spurs said: "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."

The club also acknowledged a personal tragedy affecting Tudor, adding: "We also acknowledge the bereavement that Igor has recently suffered and send our support to him and his family at this difficult time."

The 47-year-old had learned of the death of his father, Mario, shortly after the Forest defeat and did not conduct post-match media duties.

Despite early hopes that Tudor could replicate the impact he had made in previous mid-season roles, his stint failed to generate momentum. His only victory came in Europe against Atletico Madrid, although Spurs were still eliminated from the Champions League round of 16 with a 7-5 aggregate defeat.

With much of the squad currently away on international duty, assistant coach Bruno Saltor will oversee training in the interim.

Tottenham are expected to appoint a replacement within the next few days, aiming to have a new head coach in place ahead of their next fixture - an away trip to Sunderland on April 12.
