Following some calamitous results, most notably a 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last 16 first leg, the Croatian was widely expected to be sacked after he failed to arrest the slide at Spurs that sees them just one point above the drop zone in the Premier League.
As it turns out, he has opted to leave the club by mutual consent. The passing of his father likely played a role in the timing of his decision.
Tudor was supposed to be the firefighter to come in and rescue the North London club after Thomas Frank's underwhelming reign, but without a single win in the Premier League, things have only worsened.
"We can confirm that it has been mutually agreed for head coach Igor Tudor to leave the club with immediate effect," a statement from Tottenham read.
"Tomislav Rogic and Riccardo Ragnacci have also left their respective roles of goalkeeping coach and physical coach.
"We thank Igor, Tomislav and Riccardo for their efforts during the past six weeks, in which they worked tirelessly. We also acknowledge the bereavement that Igor has recently suffered and send our support to him and his family at this difficult time.
"An update on a new head coach will be provided in due course."
During his time as head coach, Tudor lost the North London derby at home to Arsenal as well as crucial games to Crystal Palace, Fulham, and relegation rivals Nottingham Forest in the round just gone.
Some tactical decisions, like starting goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky against Atleti - which proved to be a disastrous choice as the Czech stopper made two mistakes leading to goals before being unceremoniously hooked in the 16th minute - as well as his demeanour in press conferences, were just some of the issues that plagued his tenure.
Tudor recovered from the Atleti loss, remarkably, by drawing with Liverpool and then beating the Madrid club in the return leg at home. Those positive results were followed, however, by their 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Forest.
Tottenham have never been relegated from the Premier League in their history, and have not suffered the indignity of dropping into the second division since the 1970s, but are now staring it in the face with just seven rounds left to play in the league season.
Former manager and fan favourite Harry Redknapp has been linked with the role repeatedly, but the frontrunner at this stage seems to be Austrian Adi Hutter, formerly head coach of Monaco.
