Tottenham are keen to stabilise their campaign following recent struggles and believe Tudor\u2019s experience in Serie A and European football could provide immediate structure and discipline to the squad.<\/p>\n<p>Tudor has built a reputation for his tactical flexibility and high-intensity approach. During his time at Juventus, he worked as an assistant coach before later taking senior managerial roles at clubs such as Hellas Verona, Marseille and Lazio.<\/p>\n<p>Spurs view him as a suitable short-term solution who can oversee the remainder of the season while the club prepares for a permanent managerial appointment in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>However, Tottenham are already drawing up a shortlist for a long-term successor.
