New Tottenham head coach Igor Tudor expressed complete confidence that the club will avoid relegation from the Premier League. The Croatian manager, who previously led Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, replaced Thomas Frank after his sacking on February 11. Tudor, 47, emphasized his focus on immediate results rather than enjoyment.

Spurs currently sit 16th in the table, just five points above third-bottom West Ham with 12 games remaining. The club has endured a disastrous run since November, winning only two of 17 league matches. Their last victory came December 28 against Crystal Palace, collecting just four points from 24 possible in 2026.

Despite reaching the Champions League last 16 after finishing fourth in the league phase, Tottenham faces an injury crisis with 10 players sidelined. Tudor's first match against Arsenal on Sunday presents a significant challenge. The Croatian stressed the importance of building team mentality and unity, stating his priority is creating a squad that fights together. Tottenham has maintained top-flight status since 1978, finishing 17th last season.
