Johan Lange, Tottenham's sporting director, emphasized the importance of a shorter process when changing a head coach mid-season rather than in summer. Tudor impressed during interviews with his extensive experience at the highest level, including playing for Juventus and being part of Croatia's strong national team in the late 90s.
Lange highlighted Tudor's track record of joining clubs in February or March and making an immediate performance impact, which was a significant factor in the decision to appoint him until the end of the season.
