If you are just joining us, BBC Sport is reporting that former Juventus manager Igor Tudor has agreed a deal to take over as head coach at Tottenham until the end of the season.

He will replace Thomas Frank, who was sacked by Tottenham on Wednesday after just under eight months in charge.

His sacking followed a dismal 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle on Tuesday.

That defeat left Spurs 16th in the Premier League and just five points above the relegation zone following a dreadful run of form.

The north London side are winless in their past eight Premier League games - their longest run without a victory since October 2008.

They have won just two of their past 17 league matches and picked up only 12 points in that time.

Igor Tudor's reputation as a no-nonsense defender was forged during successful spells with Juventus, at club level, and his national side Croatia.

He won back-to-back Serie A titles with Juve - in 2001-02 and 2002-03 - and started the 2003 Champions League final, finishing with a runners-up medal after Juve lost to rivals AC Milan on penalties at Old Trafford.

Tudor also helped his country to a shock third-place finish at the 1998 World Cup in France.

Igor Tudor has been head coach at nine clubs in five different countries, never spending more than three years in any single post.

At this point, his only managerial honour was leading Hajduk Split to the Croatian Cup in 2013, although he did help Udinese escape relegation from Serie A in his first spell at the Italian club in 2018.

Slight change of plan to the live - such is the theme this week.

The new Tottenham Hotspur boss is lined up then - former Juventus manager, Igor Tudor.

Spurs fans, what are your thoughts on the appointment?

Happy? Sad? Indifferent?

And with it being an interim position, do you think that's the right call?

Former Croatia defender Igor Tudor played more than 150 times for Juventus and earned 55 caps for his country.

He went into management with another former club, Hajduk Split, and had spells at Galatasaray, Udinese and Marseille before succeeding Thiago Motta as Juventus boss last March.

The 47-year-old lasted just seven months in the post before he was sacked in October, with the club eighth in Serie A following an an eight-match winless run.

Former Juventus manager Igor Tudor has agreed a deal to become Tottenham interim head coach until the end of the season.

This is a developing story and we'll bring you more as we have it...

Wolves

Wolves manager Rob Edwards on what motivates the side who are currently bottom of the Premier League: "We are in a difficult situation. If everyone just decided not to turn up anymore we would be getting pretty badly criticised.

"We are all fighting for something. Our careers, the football club, our pride and it is important we show up. The lads are doing that. We didn't get everything right, far from it the other night.

"But what we did get right is some fight and some determination and some spirit and those things are very important."

Wolves

Wolves manager Rob Edwards on team news: "[Hwang Hee-chan] is doing alright, he is not going to be alright for this weekend but we obviously knew that. He is actually very positive which is good, hopefully he is not out for too long.

"Toti [Gomes] is progressing really well, hopefully get him into training next week. [Andre] trained today so hopefully he has come through it alright. The initial noise is that he is fine so hopefully involved this weekend."

Wolves

Wolves manager Rob Edwards on the recent Premier League manager sackings of Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche: "It's never nice seeing people losing their jobs. Obviously it's difficult. There is a human being there, they have a family and people need to remember that as well. I know it's big news and big talking points and people love to talk about it but there is a human being behind that.

"I am sure they will be disappointed so I wish Thomas and Sean the best. They are brilliant at what they do and they will be back in I am sure. We know the business we are in."

The first couple of those remaining six news conferences are ready and waiting in the pipeline now.

Here's Wolves boss Rob Edwards and Burnley's Scott Parker.

Manchester City

As promised, here is a recap of the top lines from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola:

• Erling Haaland is "not 100%" after picking up "some disturbance" in the midweek win over Fulham.
• He "will see tomorrow" how much John Stones might feature against Salford City
• Guardiola says that his players are physically and mentally exhausted and are looking forward to having a midweek without a game
• The City boss is taking nothing for granted in Saturday's FA Cup tie at home to Salford City, despite City running out 8-0 winners against the League Two side at the Etihad in the third round last season
• Guardiola refused to say anything directly about Sir Jim Ratcliffe's comments about immigration, but said: "The more we embrace other cultures, truly embrace it, then we will have a better society - I do not have any doubts about that."
• Finally, he said he does not know where Bernardo Silva's long-term future lies, adding that he has told the Portugal midfielder "when you make a decision, let me know"

That's all from Pep Guardiola, we will recap his news conference in a moment.

Just a reminder that we have another six to bring you before this live page closes.

Here's a list for you to tick off:

• Fulham - Marco Silva
• Sunderland - Regis le Bris
• Burnley - Scott Parker
• Aston Villa - Unai Emery

We will bring you the top lines from each manager as and when we get them.

Carol: Re Bernado Silva – I would say he’s our terrier, not the rat.

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on Bernardo Silva's recent form and his leadership style off the field: "Yes. He can talk too but it is about leadership and he leads by example. Anyone in the locker room, in the dressing room cannot deny that he has that."

On whether he has any idea on where Silva's future lies: "No. I don't have any idea. Honestly. I said to him, when you make a decision, let me know, but I have no idea."
