Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed Igor Tudor as their new interim manager.
Thomas Frank’s eight-month reign came to an end after Wednesday’s Premier League defeat to Newcastle United saw the Tudors take over in north London.

The Croatian coach has been out of work since being sacked by Juventus in October, when the Serie A giants went eight games without a win.
In addition to the Bianconeri, he has coached many clubs including Lazio, Marseille, Udinese and Split Hejduk, with whom he won the Croatian Cup in 2013.
Speaking about his arrival, Igor said: “It is an honor to join the club at such an important time.
“I understand the responsibilities I have and my priorities are clear.
“Let’s be more consistent and compete with confidence in every game.

“This team has a lot of quality, and it’s my job to organize them, inspire them, and quickly improve our results.”
Spurs had previously considered former Bundesliga coaches Edin Terzic and Marco Rose to replace Frank, but appointed the 47-year-old on a strictly short-term basis.
Tudor’s first game in charge of the Lilywhites will be Sunday’s north London derby against Premier League leaders Arsenal, whose lead has been cut to four points.
