43 days. That's how long Igor Tudor's desperate managerial reign lasted at Tottenham.
That's shorter than the length of time Liz Truss was UK Prime Minister, shorter than the average New Year's resolution before it gets quietly abandoned (there's always next year) and roughly the lifespan of a common housefly. Except the fly probably had a higher win percentage than the now-former Spurs boss.
We look at where those 43 days rank among the shortest permanent managerial reigns in Premier League history.

🤕 STAT - Tudor's 43 Days of Pain
The numbers make grim reading for Igor Tudor. The Croatian was brought in to steady the ship following the sacking of Thomas Frank at Tottenham. Instead, he lasted just 43 days, failed to win a single league game and picked up a solitary point during his tenure.
Tudor is just the 13th permanent or interim manager to last fewer than 100 days in charge of a Premier League club since the competition began in 1992. Thankfully for him, he does not quite claim the accolade of the shortest reign in Premier League history.
