Igor Tudor will take charge of Tottenham for the first time in Sunday’s derby (Credits: Shutterstock)I’ve been thinking a lot about charisma this week, after Igor Tudor’s first interview as Tottenham boss. He said all the right things but that’s not why the reception from Spurs supporters has been so positive. Given the reception, when I went to watch it I expected to be blown away by his charisma, Pep Guardiola style. What I realised is this more restrained style is proof of his charisma, rather than a lack of it. These are all good things, and they particularly work in a long-term appointment who is trying to set a new workplace culture.
