New Tottenham<\/a> interim manager Igor Tudor says there's "no time for excuses" as he looks to address the club's "unacceptable" Premier League position. <\/p>\n The former Juventus coach was named as Thomas Frank's replacement last week following the Dane's sacking<\/a>. <\/p>\n With Spurs sitting five points above the relegation zone with 12 matches remaining, 47-year-old Tudor stressed he was aware of the club's perilous situation. <\/p>\n "I'm coming here knowing that the situation is not easy. There is no time to find excuses," Tudor told Spurs' website. <\/p>\n "The position of the club in this moment is one that nobody can accept. <\/p>\n "Every Tottenham<\/a> fan cannot accept this situation. We are aware of that."<\/p>\n Spurs currently have 11 players sidelined with injuries and Tudor says he will have to repair the confidence of those who are available to him. <\/p>\n "The situation is not easy because we have a lot of injured players," said the Croat.<\/p>\n "First priority is to give everything the team need in these moments.<\/p>\n "The team need, I believe, first of all, to get some confidence, to get some courage." <\/p>\n Frank was sacked last Wednesday following a 2-1 defeat<\/a> by Newcastle<\/a>, which extended Spurs' winless run to eight matches. <\/p>\n Tudor's first game in charge comes against rivals Arsenal<\/a> at home on 22 February. <\/p>\n Despite Frank's domestic struggles, he guided Spurs through to the knockout stages of the Champions League, which recommence in March. <\/p>\n Spurs accused of editing meeting minutes by fans<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Latest Tottenham news, analysis and fan views<\/p>\n <\/a><\/li>\n Ask about Tottenham – what do you want to know?<\/p>\n <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tudor says 'no time for excuses' about Spurs formImage source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Igor Tudor has signed a deal with Tottenham until the end of the seasonByAilsa CowenBBC Sport journa…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":8327,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-decor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8326\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Related topics<\/h2>\n
