Tudor has signed a short-term contract with Tottenham that takes him until the end of the season, with Spurs just six points above the relegation zone and just 12 games left to play.

Work permits still need to be confirmed for the incoming coaches and analysts to work alongside Tudor but things are very close to being finalised.
Tudor will be joined by Ivan Javorcic as his assistant manager, with Riccardo Raganacci joining as a physical coach and Tomislav Rogic joining as the goalkeeping coach.

The Dutchman joins other Frank-appointed coaches Justin Cochrane and Chris Haslam in departing, with first-team coach Joe Newton also leaving.
