Igor Tudor: Who is Tottenham's interim head coach? The former Juventus, Lazio, Marseille boss analysed

Igor Tudor is tasked with keeping Tottenham in the Premier League - his toughest firefighting mission yet.

The 47-year-old, a former centre-back for Hajduk Split, Juventus and Croatia, has agreed to become Spurs' interim head coach until the end of the season after Thomas Frank was sacked with the club five points above the bottom three.

Spurs wanted to appoint an experienced head coach who has a track record of making an immediate impact and Tudor fits that bill.

He was appointed at Juventus and Lazio in March of each of the last two seasons and stabilised results in the short term.
