Spurs' Tudor Era Begins With New Boss Igor

February 27, 2026 · BBC Sport

Tottenham's new manager Igor faces the challenge of keeping the struggling club in the Premier League.

If new boss Igor can keep struggling Tottenham in the Premier League, he could become one of the most popular Tudors since the 1500s. The comparison to the English royal dynasty is fitting for the club that bears the name of Sir Henry Percy, a historical figure known as Harry Hotspur.

The Tudor reference is a play on words, connecting the club's nickname 'Spurs' with the English royal dynasty that ruled from 1485-1603. Should Igor succeed where others have failed, his name might go down in Tottenham folklore alongside the club's greatest managers.
