Igor Tudor became one of the shortest-serving managers in Premier League history following his weekend Tottenham Hotspur exit. A Spurs statement said they and the Croatian had ‘mutually agreed’ to part ways following five defeats from his seven games in charge.
The North London club a point above the relegation zone and three points shy of Leeds United in 15th, with Tudor’s 44-day reign among the shortest ever seen in the top-flight. The record, however, is held by former Whites boss Sam Allardyce who was unable to stave off relegation towards the end of the 2022/23 campaign.
Allardyce is one of two Leeds managerial flops to make up the list of 13 head coaches who have failed to reach 100 days in charge, according to Opta. Take a look below to see who joins him from Elland Road, Chelsea, Charlton Athletic and Fulham among others.
