Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

[DeanoAustin]

I know little about him as a manager.

If we were going the interim route, there weren't many options to be fair. This fella has had a win percentage everywhere, including Udinese, Marseilles, Lazio and Juve, that will keep us comfortably safe.

This could actually be a good appointment given the situation and options.

Ivan Javorcic, Tomislav Rogic and Riccardo Ragnacci are his coaches, if anyone is interested

He always makes a good start and has a lot of experience taking jobs mid season would be the positives.

Negatives are that he doesn’t know the Prem and seem to be wedded to a 3421.

 

[Gutter Boy]

Huge risk, no Prem experience, I’d have thought that would have been vital in a relegation battle?

Have you ever known a Croatian not slot straight into the EPL? They are tough mofos but also quite compatible with the culture.

 

[BrentwoodSpur]

At least he looks like someone not to fudge with, unlike Frank...

“Yes Mr Tudor. Anything you say Mr Tudor”

 

[Gutter Boy]

He always makes a good start and has a lot of experience taking jobs mid season would be the positives.

Negatives are that he doesn’t know the Prem and seem to be wedded to a 3421.

As we have no fit fullbacks or wingers, 3 CBs and 4 CMs might suit us for these 12 games.

Igor Tudor is known for an aggressive, high-intensity, and forward-looking tactical style, predominantly employing a 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-3 formation. His philosophy centers on high-pressing (often man-oriented), quick vertical transitions, and intense, attacking football that prioritizes winning the ball in the opponent's half and maintaining high energy.

Time to make this sexy....

"
Igor Tudor has fashioned a tactical doctrine of rare conviction—one defined by feral intensity, vertical ambition, and architectural precision. Most commonly articulated through the 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-3, his structures are not static formations but living frameworks, engineered to compress space, distort opposition shapes, and impose territorial sovereignty.


At its heart lies an aggressive, frequently man-oriented press—an orchestrated act of suffocation designed to deny rhythm and provoke error. Yet Tudor’s vision extends beyond mere disruption. The instant possession is reclaimed, his sides unfurl forward with ruthless immediacy, converting defensive recovery into swift, penetrating incisions. Transitions are not moments of adjustment but of acceleration; the tempo is not managed, but dictated.


The result is football of unyielding momentum—physically exacting, tactically audacious, and animated by a relentless desire to conquer ground, command energy, and overwhelm opponents through sustained, forward-driving force."

This is a much better 'getting the band back together' proposition than the Redknapp one

Time to bring back Conte-cam?!

Conte and Tudor - friends reunited in the Champions League | Tottenham Hotspur

Antonio Conte first met Igor Tudor at Juventus almost 25 years ago, in 1998. Over the next nine years, they became friends, and shared all of football’s highs and lows, including winning Serie A titles and a UEFA Champions League Final defeat.

Look I’m not saying he’ll definitely fail, it just seems a huge risk for an interim appointment in the precarious position Frank has left us in. At least his style is more front foot and inline with what we want.

To dare is Tudor

(Any better?)

I know people will be cynical, but he was pretty good on Crystal Maze.

Bastard - beat me to it!

Imagine if he Di Matteos the CL!

These lot like playing with fire.
We shall soon see if it was a genius move or more in line with the dunceness we have been accustomed to

 

[Mrs Vert]

Imagine if he Di Matteos the CL!

That would be a miracle. Considering we have no players available

 

[Seedy Ron]

Not at all convinced, but obviously best of luck to him, and us. No really obvious candidates for this sort of thing in fairness.

Feels like this is the end game of reality TV.

It's a month till the next fixture. Porro, Danso, Romero, Udogie and Richy will all be back by then. Maybe even Bergvall and Kudus.

From a brief look up he does have relegation battle experience with Udinese where he kept them up
