Igor Tudor has left his role as Tottenham head coach after seven matches in charge.
Spurs made the surprise decision to turn to Tudor after Thomas Frank was dismissed on 11 February.
Tudor had never managed in the Premier League, but had experience of sparking an upturn in form after mid-season arrivals and yet suffered five defeats from seven games, including four in a row at the start of his reign.
A club statement on Sunday afternoon 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."
The most recent defeat came at home to Nottingham Forest on 22 March, prior to the international break.
Immediately after that game, the 47-year-old learned his father Mario had died.
Tudor's exit leaves Spurs without a head coach heading into the final seven games of the Premier League season, with the London club just one place and one point above the relegation zone.
Their next match is at Sunderland on 12 April.
Who are the contenders to take over from Tudor (above).
Harry Redknapp
It may seem crazy to turn to a 79-year-old who has been out of work for nine years and is best known recently for being declared 'King of the Jungle’ on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, but ex-Spurs boss Redknapp has repeatedly thrown his hat in the ring.
Redknapp said during the Cheltenham Festival he does not expect to get a call, but would be open to going back and does possess the arm-around-the-shoulder man-management skills that may get the best out of a group of players devoid of confidence.
If surrounded by young and enthusiastic coaches, it could work in the same way Martin O’Neill’s arrival has revitalised Celtic – and Redknapp is only a year older than Roy Hodgson, appointed this week as interim head coach of Championship Bristol City.
Sean Dyche
Ordinarily a club in a relegation fight would turn to firefighter Dyche, who rescued Everton from a sticky situation and initially built up his fine reputation with an outstanding job at Burnley.
Dyche’s more direct style of play has often drawn criticism and is believed to be a key factor in why he left Forest after a short spell, but he has plenty of experience of a survival battle.
Would Tottenham really turn to him, though?
Ange Postecoglou
Perhaps the most obvious solution would be to go back to Postecoglou, especially given this is largely his squad. Despite a difficult 2024-25 campaign, the charismatic Greek-born Australian coach managed to keep the majority of players on side.
A number of the squad were stunned Postecoglou was dismissed after he ended the club’s 17-year trophy drought with Europa League success in Bilbao.
He would instantly demand the respect of the low-on-confidence group but would the hierarchy swallow their pride and bring him back?
Ryan Mason
If going back to Postecoglou would be an admission of a mistake, perhaps Tottenham could turn to one of last season’s coaching staff in Mason.
The majority moved on after Europa League success with Mason taking over West Brom and, while he was sacked in January after a poor run of away form left the Baggies 18th in the Championship, his replacement Eric Ramsay has already been moved on and they remain in relegation trouble.
A boyhood Spurs fan and player who has twice been caretaker before and played a crucial role in the club’s triumph in Bilbao, Mason’s rapport with the squad would make him a viable option.
Glenn Hoddle
Hoddle, one of the greatest footballers in Tottenham’s history, has already made clear he would return to help the club.
Hoddle managed Spurs for three years at the start of the century and has been out of management since 2006, but recently admitted if his old team needed assistance, he would step in.
Hoddle suggested pairing up with Robbie Keane and that would fit the bill for an association with the club, but given his time out of management, would the players listen to the former England boss?
