One Tottenham first-team star who has had a poor campaign so far may be the biggest winner from Igor Tudor’s arrival in N17.
Spurs acted swiftly to replace Thomas Frank, with Tudor taking charge as the interim head coach until the summer.
With the Croat only being handed a short-term contract, he may have to perform incredibly well to be considered for the permanent role in the summer.
However, the 47-year-old has plenty of experience in rebuilding clubs in crisis, and he knows one member of the Spurs squad very well.
Igor Tudor could get Randal Kolo Muani firing for Tottenham
Randal Kolo Muani has struggled since joining Tottenham on loan in the summer, and is still waiting for his first Premier League goal.
The Frenchman may be very happy with the arrival of Tudor, with whom he worked during his loan spell at Juventus last season.
The 27-year-old started all of Juve’s final six matches last season after Tudor took over at the Allianz Arena, managing to score three times.
Kolo Muani had gone eight Serie A games without a goal prior to the Croat’s arrival, which perhaps shows that the new interim Tottenham head coach knows how to get the best of the man on loan from PSG.
Under Tudor, Kolo Muani looked much more like the player Paris Saint-Germain paid £76m to sign.
Alternatively, this could be bad news for Dominic Solanke, who has just started to rekindle some form at Tottenham following a long spell on the sidelines.
Tudor reveals what he intends to do at Spurs
Johan Lange has said that Tudor’s experience of producing an impact instantly at clubs made him the right fit for Tottenham, but it is fair to say that many Spurs fans are sceptical about the appointment.
In his first interview as interim Tottenham boss, the experienced coach made it clear what his primary objective is.
Tudor said that the Spurs squad has plenty of quality and that his role is to energise the squad. The club would be hoping that the 47-year-old’s arrival does just that as they hover dangerously close to the relegation zone.
