Tottenham have parted company with Igor Tudor after seven games and 44 days in a desperate attempt to halt their slide towards relegation from the Premier League. According to the club, the decision was mutually agreed. Spurs have now moved once again to try to persuade Roberto De Zerbi to come to their rescue and join them straight away.

The club considered a move for De Zerbi, the former Brighton manager, after they sacked Thomas Frank on 11 February and before they appointed Tudor. De Zerbi had just left Marseille but he decided he needed a break from the game and would most likely look to resume work in the summer.
