"If I recognised the difficulties there are, probably yes [it is the biggest]. It's an even bigger motivation that we do it. There's not too much time to think about performance or style. Every game needs to be prepared in that way: How are we going to take the points? One way or the other way."
"Only once before have Tottenham gone 10 Premier League games without victory, doing so between January and March 1994 under Osvaldo Ardiles. In the north London derby, Tudor opted for a 3-5-2 formation, but Spurs have won just one of their last 10 league games when playing three at the back."
Tottenham Hotspur appointed Igor Tudor as head coach to combat their relegation battle after Thomas Frank's dismissal. Currently 16th in the Premier League with just four points separating them from the relegation zone, Spurs have not won any of their nine matches in 2026, drawing four and losing five. Despite the Opta supercomputer giving them only a 4.6% relegation probability, Tudor acknowledged this represents his career's biggest challenge. Following a 4-1 derby loss to Arsenal in his first match, Tudor prioritizes securing results over implementing specific playing styles, emphasizing pragmatic preparation for each fixture.
