Lange stated that the decision to go with a shorter process was important, as they interviewed several candidates and Tudor impressed them greatly in the interview. The sporting director highlighted Tudor's extensive experience at the highest level, including playing for Juventus and being part of Croatia's successful national team in the late 1990s.
Lange emphasized that Tudor's proven ability to join clubs during February or March and immediately make a performance impact was a significant factor in the decision to appoint him as Tottenham's head coach.
