Tudor has now overseen five losses, one draw and one win in his seven games in charge as Tottenham’s winless start to 2026 continues.
Pressure is growing on the Croatian who lost 3-0 to Nottingham Forest at the weekend. After the clash, his assistant Bruno Salto took charge of the press conference due to “family issues”.
Tottenham and Juventus send condolences
Now, the club have confirmed that Tudor’s father sadly passed away in what comes as shocking news to fans who were quick to support their manager on social media.
“Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Igor Tudor's father, Mario.
“Our thoughts and condolences go out to Igor and his family during this incredibly difficult time.”
With just seven games remaining in the Premier League season and Tottenham sitting just one point above the relegation zone, news that Tudor’s father passed has not come at the best of times as he tries to focus on turning the side around.
Italian club Juventus, who Tudor played and managed also sent their condolences on Monday afternoon.
"Juventus stands with Igor Tudor and his family at this difficult time," the Bianconeri said in a statement on X.
"Juventus joins in mourning the passing of his father."
Spurs' last four games come against Aston Villa, Leeds United, Chelsea and Everton where points look almost impossible for the club who many believe are destined for relegation.
