Sunday’s north London derby against Arsenal will mark Tudor’s first game in charge.
The former Juventus manager took first team training for the first time on Monday, and his squad have had 12 days to prepare for Sunday’s match given they were knocked out of the FA Cup in the third-round.
Tudor has a history of making immediate impacts at clubs and the former Croatia international is adamant he can keep Spurs in the Premier League.
Asked how confident he was Tottenham would still be in the Premier League next season, Tudor replied “100%”.
“I’m not here to enjoy it, I’m here to work,” said the 47-year-old.
“Enjoy is the first moment, and then there’s work to do. It’s a fantastic club. I am very focused to do the right things.
“It is not about systems. It is important to become a team, a group, who will look after each other. For me this is basic.
“After that the quality can come out and, for me, this is a team with quality, with legs that can run. There is potential.”
Despite coming fourth in the league phase of the Champions League to jump straight into the last 16, Tottenham have struggled in the Premier League.
Since November they have only won two of 17 league matches, with six draws and nine defeats. Their last league victory was a 1-0 success at Crystal Palace on 28 December and they have collected only four out of a possible 24 points in 2026.
Spurs, who finished 17th last season, have been in the top flight of English football in every campaign since one year in the old Second Division in 1977-78.
But they head into Sunday’s match against arch rivals Arsenal with an injury crisis.
“It’s a very rare situation,” added Tudor. “We have 10 injuries, we trained with 13 players.
“It is an even bigger challenge to succeed from this situation. My first goal is that we become a team in the right meaning of the word, that suffers when it needs to suffer, to fight, to run, to have the right mentality. The start is always about mentality.”
