Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Igor Tudor says the battle to maintain the club's Premier League status is the most difficult task he has experienced. Tudor replaced Ange Postecoglou earlier this month following a run of poor results that left Spurs in the bottom three of the table, according to Sky Sports. The North London club currently sits 18th in the standings with only 10 matches remaining in the season.
Tudor previously managed Lazio and Marseille but believes the pressure at Tottenham is unique given the club's stature. Spurs have lost four of their last five league fixtures and face a difficult run of games against title contenders, per The Guardian. The manager told reporters that the squad requires a mental shift to handle the physical demands of a relegation scrap.
Tottenham's defence has conceded 52 goals this season, which is the third-highest total in the division. Tudor confirmed he is working on a more compact system to address these defensive weaknesses. The team travels to Everton on Saturday for a crucial match at the bottom of the table.
