Tottenham have offered condolences to interim head coach Igor Tudor following the death of his father.
The 47-year-old Croat did not undertake post-match media duties following Spurs’ 3-0 home defeat by Nottingham Forest on Sunday for personal reasons.
“Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Igor Tudor’s father, Mario,” said Spurs in a statement.
“Our thoughts and condolences go out to Igor and his family during this incredibly difficult time.”
Former Juventus boss Tudor was appointed Tottenham boss until the end of the season on 13 February.
His side sit one point above the relegation zone with seven games remaining, having lost four times and drawn once in the Premier League during Tudor’s short time in charge.
Their next match is at Sunderland on Sunday, 12 April.
Italian club Juventus, for whom Tudor also played for many years, joined Tottenham in expressing sympathy over the loss of his father.
“Juventus stands with Igor Tudor and his family at this difficult time,” the Bianconeri said in a statement on X.
“Juventus joins in mourning the passing of his father.”
