‘We’re so back’ – Tottenham fans in agreement after what they’ve just heard from Igor Tudor

Tottenham Hotspur fans are buzzing with excitement following the appointment of Igor Tudor as interim head coach until the end of the season, with many declaring "we’re so back" after his bold statements.[1][2]

The club confirmed the Croatian's arrival on February 14, 2026, just days after sacking Thomas Frank, who left Spurs languishing in 16th place in the Premier League, five points above the relegation zone.[1][2] Tudor's mandate is clear: instill organization, intensity, and competitive edge to climb the table and stabilize performances amid a tough fight.[2]

In his first words, Tudor declared: "It is an honour to join this Club at an important moment. I understand the responsibility I have been handed and my focus is clear. To bring greater consistency to our performances and compete with conviction in every match. There is strong quality in this playing squad, and my job is to organise it, energise it and improve our results quickly."[1][2][3] Sporting director Johan Lange praised him as bringing "clarity, intensity and experience of stepping into challenging moments," aiming to maximize the squad's talent in both Premier League and Champions League.[2][6]

Fans erupted online, hailing Tudor's no-nonsense approach. Known for his high-intensity style—favoring a 3-4-2-1 or 3-5-2 formation with relentless pressing—he's a "left-field" choice who's salvaged teams mid-season before, including at Marseille where he demanded players "run or don’t play."[1][3] Journalist George Boxall noted his "electroshock" potential for Spurs.[3]

However, skeptics like Tim Sherwood warn of the "catastrophic downside" if relegation hits, questioning Tudor's Premier League inexperience despite the squad's quality.[4] Tudor faces an instant test: the North London Derby against leaders Arsenal on February 22.[1]

Supporters, undeterred, see Tudor's arrival as the jolt needed, chanting "we’re so back" in unison.[1]
