Tottenham may be worried by what Igor Tudor's former colleagues say about him
Tottenham Hotspur fans may be concerned by what some of Igor Tudor’s former colleagues have allegedly said about the Croat.
Tudor has plenty of experience firefighting at clubs, having done so most recently at Juventus, with him who parted ways in October of last year.
The new interim Spurs head coach has said that he wants to energise the squad and improve results on the back of what has been a chastening last few months for everyone involved at the North London club.
However, a new report has taken a closer look at the newcomer’s personality, which suggests that it may not be all smooth sailing for Spurs until the summer.
Why Igor Tudor’s appointment by Tottenham has surprised many
The Telegraph have revealed that individuals familiar with Tudor’s work have been surprised by the fact that he has been put in charge of a club in the midst of a Premier League relegation battle.
That is not only due to his lack of experience in England, but also because things have not ended well for him in his last three jobs at Marseille, Lazio and Juventus, having not lasted more than a year at any of those clubs.
One former colleague of Tudor has described him as “too loud and emotional”, with the Croat said to be prone to tantrums.
One source said about the former Juventus boss: “Look at the amount of games at each club. That tells you everything.”
Another source familiar with his work at Marseille said about Tudor’s tactics: “He’s purely a transitional coach. His Marseille team was like watching basketball. Spurs have rolled the dice.”
Tudor has a history of clashes in his previous jobs
The Telegraph says that another possible point of concern for the North London club is Tudor’s history of clashing with those around him.
In his last job at Juve, the 47-year-old is said to have had a heated confrontation with the club’s general manager, Damien Comolli, just days prior to his sacking.
He also allegedly lost his temper with the Bianconeri players, accusing them of having “no dignity”, while he also had a series of clashes with players at Marseille.
It is revealed that the Juve hierarchy was unimpressed with Tudor’s public statements and his tendency to regularly complain about refereeing decisions.
