Tottenham have appointed Igor Tudor as their head coach for the remainder of the season.
Provided he receives a work permit, the Croat will step in following the departure of Thomas Frank, who was sacked with Spurs in 16th place in the Premier League.
"It is an honour to join this club at an important moment," said Tudor.
"I understand the responsibility I have been handed and my focus is clear. To bring greater consistency to our performances and compete with conviction in every match.
"There is strong quality in this playing squad, and my job is to organise it, energise it and improve our results quickly."
Tottenham sporting director Johan Lange said Tudor will bring "clarity, intensity and experience of stepping into challenging moments and producing impact".
"Our objective is straightforward - to stabilise performances, maximise the quality within the squad and compete strongly in the Premier League and Champions League," added Lange.
Tottenham are into the knockout stages of the Champions League after finishing fourth in the league stage under Frank.
Tudor's first game in charge will be a significant one as Spurs host north London rivals Arsenal in the Premier League on 22 February.
That will allow the 47-year-old less than a week to attempt to implement his style of play once the players return to training on Monday - and they could be in for a shock.
"His style is intense," George Boxall, a football journalist based in Marseille, where Tudor managed between 2022 and 2023, tells BBC Sport.
"The players do a hell of a lot of running. There's lots of intensity, lots of pressing.
"He is a really strong personality and he could be a good appointment for Tottenham if they feel they need an electroshock."
