Igor Tudor has left his role as Tottenham Hotspur’s interim head coach after just 44 days and seven matches.
Spurs said they have “mutually agreed” with the Croat to part ways with “immediate effect”.
The decision comes a week after a damaging 3-0 home defeat by fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest on 22 March – a result that left Spurs 17th in the table and only one point above the relegation places with seven games remaining.
Tottenham have suffered five defeats in seven matches in all competitions since Tudor succeeded the sacked Thomas Frank on 14 February, on a deal until the end of the season.
Spurs said: “An update on a new head coach will be provided in due course.”
Spurs will appoint Tudor’s replacement in the next few days to be in place for when most players return from international duty.
Tudor’s assistant, Bruno Saltor, will oversee training for those at the club.
They confirmed that goalkeeping coach Tomislav Rogic and physical coach Riccardo Ragnacci have also departed.
Tudor, 47, did not undertake post-match media duties after the defeat by Forest because of the death of his father.
“We thank Igor, Tomislav, and Riccardo for their efforts during the past six weeks, in which they worked tirelessly,” said Spurs in a statement.
“We also acknowledge the bereavement that Igor has recently suffered and send our support to him and his family at this difficult time.”
