The death was confirmed by the Croatian sports newspaper Sportske novosti. The 47-year-old coach learned about the tragedy of his absence after a home defeat against Nottingham Forest with a 0:3 draw in the 31st round of the Premier League. Deputy Bruno Saltor took the floor in front of the press..
“This is a special and family matter, and now it’s not too late to catch Igor,” said Saltor.
Tudor replaced Thomas Frank as head coach of the London club. Under his leadership, Tottenham suffered five defeats in seven matches, gained one victory and lost once.
