Igor Tudor hired as Tottenham interim manager

Former Juventus boss Tudor replaces Thomas Frank, who was sacked on Wednesday with Tottenham languishing only five points above the Premier League relegation zone. The Croatian and Tottenham's hierarchy reached a verbal agreement on Friday and the deal has now been rubber-stamped. "It is an honour to join this club at an important moment," Tudor said. "I understand the responsibility I have been handed and my focus is clear. To bring greater consistency to our performances and compete with conviction in every match.
