The diplomat had his accreditation revoked and was told to leave the country in two weeks. The FSB, Russia's security service, claimed the British diplomat "provided false information about himself". Moscow also accused him of attempting to gather information about the Russian economy during informal meetings. The FSB, the main successor to the Soviet-era KGB, said it had detected an "undeclared intelligence presence". It added the diplomat was "carrying out intelligence and subversive activities that threaten the security of the Russian Federation", according to Russian media reports. In a statement, the Russian Ministry of Affairs said Danae Dholakia, the British Chargé d'Affaires in Russia, was summoned over the claims that a diplomat had "knowingly provided false information about himself when applying for entry into our country". The statement read: "Russian authorities also received information indicating that this employee belonged to the British intelligence services and identified evidence of his involvement in subversive intelligence work in our country." It continued: "The British side was informed that previously uncovered instances of some British diplomats deliberately providing false information about themselves had already prompted our harsh response. "They were also urged to convey to London a strong recommendation that British citizens, especially embassy staff, provide only accurate information about their past when applying for visas. "It was particularly emphasized that Moscow will not tolerate the activities of undeclared British intelligence officers in Russia, and our uncompromising position on this issue will continue to be formulated in accordance with national security interests. "Furthermore, a warning was issued that if London escalates the situation, the Russian side will immediately respond accordingly."

"In order to avoid negative consequences, including criminal liability, the FSB of Russia recommends that compatriots refrain from holding meetings with British diplomats," the FSB said. Britain did not immediately respond to a request for a response, but when a British diplomat was expelled in January for spying, London branded the claims "baseless accusations". On Russian state television, Britain is cast as "Perfidious Albion", a scheming global power meddling behind the scenes to undermine Russian interests. Western diplomats in Moscow say intrusive surveillance an harassment are frequent, with a guide known as "Moscow Rules", developed by Western spies in the Soviet era to guard against complacency, has been updated. Russia has imposed Soviet-style restrictions on most British diplomats, requiring them to give notice of places to travel beyond a 75-mile radius. Earlier this month, Russia's ambassador to Britain denied that poison from a dart frog was used to kill opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Andrey Kelin told Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips that the death had "nothing to do with us". Mr Navalny, 47, was killed while imprisoned in a Russian penal colony in 2024.

Coinciding with the previously announced broadcast switch to YouTube, the show will move from the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard to the Peacock Theatre about nine miles (14.5km) away, in downtown Los Angeles's LA Live complex, in 2029. The Peacock Theatre has a capacity of about 7,000 - roughly twice the current amount. It will come after more than 25 years of Oscars ceremonies at the Dolby Theatre, which has been home to the show since 2002. The Academy Awards will mark its 100th anniversary at the venue in 2028, before the new-look show and broadcast begins. "For the 101st Oscars and beyond, the Academy looks forward to closely collaborating with AEG to make LA LIVE the perfect backdrop for our global celebration of cinema," the Academy's chief executive Bill Kramer and its president, Lynette Howell Taylor, said in a joint statement. AEG will make improvements to the venue as part of the deal, they said, including upgrades to its stage, sound and lighting systems, backstage and other areas. Surrounded by the Walk of Fame, next to the celebrity handprints of The Chinese Theatre and with the famous Hollywood sign as a backdrop, the Dolby Theatre was developed by the Academy itself and seemed a perfect location for the biggest awards show in entertainment. However, this is not the first move out of Hollywood. The show took place at various hotels throughout Los Angeles in the early years before a move to theatres in the mid-1940s. The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, a fine arts facility in downtown LA, hosted the ceremony from 1968 to 1986. It then alternated between the Chandler and the Shrine Auditorium, next to the University of Southern California, until the long-term move to Hollywood.

Across the petrol station's price board in giant lettering reads Reform Refuel: 25p off with Farage. A gaggle of journalists, TV cameras, and photographers have gathered, alongside some curious locals. Alan Graves, Reform's Derbyshire County Council leader, arrives to fill up in his turquoise Bentley. Reform's most prominent Conservative defector, Robert Jenrick, is hanging around the forecourt waiting for Nigel Farage, who arrives soon after us, swarmed by cameras as he steps out of a Land Rover in flat cap, barbour jacket and cords. Soon, Jenrick is up the ladder changing the petrol prices as Farage stands below. For one day only, Reform had struck a deal with the owner of this independent garage to take 25p off a litre of fuel. The duo brought the national media to this small forecourt in the Peak District in Derbyshire to demand the government reverse planned fuel duty rises by cutting green spending: "We will spend the next few months trying to shame Rachel Reeves into cancelling [the 5p] rise in fuel duty in September. But if she doesn't - whether because she's running scared of the Greens or in hock to her far-left backbenchers - then Reform will reverse it in our first budget." Soon the stunt was plastered over social media and Farage's typically bombastic news conference ran on live television. Meanwhile, over on the X platform, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch was busily taking a similar position on fuel duty, posting: "Labour know exactly what a fuel duty hike will do to hardworking families, but they're doing it anyway. It's wrong. That's why last week the Conservatives put down a motion in parliament to force a vote to stop them". Two parties pushing the same policy, but the Conservative leader was outdone by her arch rival Farage and arch nemesis Jenrick as their publicity stunt caught all the eyeballs. Reform UK has made it its business to capture the attention economy as it tries to put the oldest party in the world out of business for good. Welcome to the battle for the right, in which the Conservatives and Reform appear to be in a fight to the death. It wasn't always this way. Back in 2019 Farage's Brexit Party did an electoral pact with the Conservatives - deciding not to contest the 317 seats the Tories won in the 2017 election in order to get Boris Johnson into government and Brexit across the line. In 2023, Farage attended Conservative Party conference, receiving a hero's welcome from right-wing Tories at a Liz Truss fringe event before partying with Priti Patel, the now shadow foreign secretary, later in the evening. Back then, there was open talk that Farage might rejoin the party after decades of campaigning against it. But then, before the 2024 general election, Farage announced he was taking over Reform and went on to win five seats, with 14.3% of the vote, as the Tories had their worst ever result and saw their parliamentary ranks reduced to 121. The die was cast; since then Reform has gone on to win a by-election, and take control of a dozen councils across England and two mayoralties. Reform has also seen its own ranks swell as disaffected Tories jump ship. It leapfrogged the Conservatives as the insurgent party of the right, leading in over 240 polls since the general election: Farage no longer toys with joining the Tories or doing an electoral deal; he wants to destroy them. So does Jenrick, who I have come to Buxton to interview. This former young Tory once campaigned to remain in the EU and sat in Rishi Sunak's cabinet. Now he's Farage's right-hand man and undoubtedly the Reform leader's biggest Tory scalp. When I ask him about this political journey, he says quitting the Tories was hard: "If anyone thinks it's an easy thing to do, to leave a party that you've been a part of since you were 16 years of age, then they don't understand what this is about. "I came to the conclusion over a long period of time that the Tory party hadn't really learned the lessons of the mistakes they made in office. It wasn't changing. "There have been millions of people who have always voted Conservative - out of force of habit, or because they thought the party was the best placed to do what they wanted to do, [and] shared their values - who have deserted the Conservative party and concluded it's failed." A former Conservative leadership contender, his betrayal has left a bitter taste in his former party; his former colleagues are adamant that Jenrick's defection was driven by ambition rather than principle. He quit the shadow front bench of a party that risks being gutted in May's local elections and is now Reform's second-in-command - the chancellor of the next government if Reform wins. "I'm not embarrassed to say that I'm ambitious," he says. He is not the only big name to defect; Reform looks for politicians with ministerial experience to join its ranks as it eyes the prospect of government at the next election. There are now over 20 former or current parliamentarians that have joined Reform and Jenrick insists that the influx of former Conservative cabinet ministers is not putting Reform voters off. "Reform voters and supporters time after time are saying to me 'Rob, why didn't you do this months ago? You share our values. You have been on our side for a long time'." They may share values - but Jenrick is less keen on sharing voters, and outright rejects the prospect of any accommodation, merger, or pact between Reform and the Conservatives, saying the only way to unite the right is "behind Reform and Nigel". "People who say there should be some kind of pact or deal misunderstand why people are voting Reform or are drawn to Reform. There are millions of people who feel incredibly angry and disillusioned and frustrated... and those people don't want to see Nigel Farage doing a deal with the Tory party." Analysis from Sky News and exclusive polling with Ipsos appears to back up Jenrick's argument. At first glance, the combined polling of Reform and the Tories points to a right-wing coalition that could take power at the next general election. Latest polls from YouGov put the former on 23% and the latter on 17%. But dig deeper and it seems that a Reform-Conservative pact isn't very popular among supporters, according to new Ipsos polling for Sky News. Nearly as many of their own supporters are against a pact as are for it. Sky's election analysts say that a Tory-Reform pact could risk losing votes from their own supporters; just one in four Reform and Tory supporters say they are open to voting for each other's parties. And that could cause problems. The polling reveals another possibility - that a right-wing challenge could throw up a stronger alliance on the left to stop Reform. Our polling shows that pacts on the left are much more popular with their supporters than ones on the right - with +2% net support among right-wing supporters, and +23% net support on the left. So there is a real risk that if the liberal-left were to join up - that's Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens - they could overtake a divided right. It is a prospect that another Conservative defector to Reform, Danny Kruger, acknowledges as he urges Conservatives to give way and allow Reform to become the party of the right: "There is a real danger that some kind of terrible coalition of the left wins the next election because the right is split. "I don't think there is a future for the Conservative Party as a national party. I don't think it will disappear altogether but I think that its days as the principal challenger to Labour from the right are over. I regret the split on the right but I think it is necessary now that we move the principal vehicle of centre-right politics. "I hope it becomes increasingly obvious that if you want to change the government, if you want the centre-right to be in power, Reform is the only option, and that means taking voters from the Conservatives." But pollster Luke Tryl argues that what is happening on the right of politics is far more complicated than just one party eclipsing the other. "It's a mistake to assume Tory and Reform voters are just different versions of each other. On some big questions, they're in different places, so Tory voters have much lower approval of Donald Trump. In fact, Tory voters of any party voters - except for the Greens - are the most likely to disapprove of Donald Trump. Reform voters are more mixed. "On questions about the economy, lots of Reform voters want big nationalisation. Tories are much more sceptical of that. So it's not a case that you can just sort of add them together, they're quite distinctive and I sometimes categorise it as the Tories now are more institutionalist right, Reform are more insurgent right." Former home secretary, Amber Rudd, thinks the Conservative Party needs to stop fighting on Farage's turf and rebuild in the centre-right. The former home secretary has helped set up a new pressure group for British Conservativism, Prosper, in recent weeks to galvanise voters on the centre-right who feel politically homeless, and to rebuild her party from the centre. "I think that there are a lot of Conservatives, and I am one of them, who believe that Reform, and Nigel Farage particularly, would be damaging for this country. And so we have to try to give the public an alternative to that choice. I think it is worth trying because I can't just sit it out at the moment and see this terrible choice between Starmer and Farage. "I totally reject that there's anything centre-right about what Nigel Farage proposes. If you look at something like on immigration, which is a key issue for the public, they have unequivocally said that they want to do something like what has been done in America, where we've seen ICE [and] the Donald Trump removal process for what he considers to be illegal immigrants... which has killed people. Now, the idea of that on the streets of London is horrific." Current Conservative chairman, Kevin Hollinrake, says the key is putting clear blue water between themselves and Reform when it comes to the economy, welfare, and state intervention. "There are so many things about Reform's policies that are not Conservative, that are not right of centre. Nationalising industry, increasing welfare by taking off the two-child benefit cap - which they've put back on now of course, temporarily, I don't know when they'll change their policy again... hundreds of billion pounds of unfunded spending promises. "This is not a conservative party, this is not a battle for the right, as they say. This is conservatism versus populism. We need to make the case where there's only one choice on the right." Our research suggests that choice is currently not the Conservatives. A Reform Voting Index created by Sky News' election analysts, gauging which of the two right-wing parties currently holds the advantage in each constituency across Britain, finds that Reform has a clear lead in three times as many seats as the Conservatives - ahead in 316 seats, with the Tories leading in just 93, with a further 223 seats too close to call. When you look at Reform and the Conservatives, the personalities, the politics, and the polling all point to a prolonged fight. A pact doesn't look like it would resolve the battle for the right, and blood spilt between the two sides makes a peace deal look near-impossible to secure anyway. The Conservatives think their best hope is that the Reform surge will burn itself out - be that through a patchy record in local government, divisive culture wars, or Farage fatigue - and lapsed Tory voters will look again at Badenoch and the Conservatives. Our polling shows she is more popular among the current set of Reform supporters than Farage is amongst current Conservative backers, suggesting she might have a better chance of winning back lost voters. Read more:What's happening with this year's local elections in England?Reform reports 'family voting' claims to police But Reform very clearly has the upper hand - be it in the attention economy at the rural petrol station, or the polls - and Farage will want to press home that advantage in the May elections. It is very unclear how this feud will end, but what is more certain is the battle for the right looks set to run right up the next general election - and it could prove to be Labour's best chance of getting back in.

Sky in Italy are reporting that talks are expected to take place with De Zerbi over a five-year contract proposal from Spurs, who are searching for a third managerial appointment of the season following Igor Tudor's exit on Sunday. Sky Sports News understands Tottenham's preference is for a permanent appointment after Tudor's disastrous seven games in charge across 44 days. Transfer Centre LIVE! | Tottenham news & transfers⚪Spurs fixtures & scores | FREE highlights▶️Got Sky? Watch Tottenham games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Sky Sports News has reported for several weeks that all options have been under consideration, including accelerating the appointment of a summer target. De Zerbi is high among those, along with former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, who has a contract as USA boss until after this summer's World Cup. Several Spurs fan groups have urged the club to rethink any potential De Zerbi appointment over his backing of Mason Greenwood when he was Marseille boss. De Zerbi having a change of heart? De Zerbi is available after leaving Marseille in February, but Sky in Italy reported last week that he was not expected to join Tottenham - or any other club - before the end of the season. The 46-year-old had intended to avoid an immediate return to football so he could evaluate his options in the summer. But it appears he has had a change of heart and could now join relegation-threatened Spurs. The north London club sit just one place and one point above the relegation zone with only seven Premier League games left. Tottenham are aiming to avoid relegation to the second tier for the first time since 1977, with their next match at Sunderland on April 12, live on Sky Sports. De Zerbi could be set for a return to the Premier League, having managed Brighton for nearly two seasons, where he achieved the club's highest-ever top-flight finish as they secured European qualification for the first time in their history after finishing sixth in the 2022/23 campaign. The ex-Shakhtar Donetsk boss then left the Seagulls at the end of the following season after an 11th-placed finish and a run to the Europa League last 16. De Zerbi then joined Marseille in the summer of 2024 before leaving by mutual consent last month after their Champions League league phase exit and a 5-0 thrashing at Paris Saint-Germain, which left them fourth in Ligue 1 having finished runners-up to PSG the season before. Is De Zerbi a good mid-season appointment? Tottenham, who currently sit one point above the relegation zone, are in need of a head coach who can deliver instant results with just seven games left to secure their survival. De Zerbi has established himself as a coach that instils a possession-based philosophy, creating teams that are praised for their attractive style of football. However, the Italian's start at Brighton when he took over mid-season in 2022 following Graham Potter's departure would suggest he might struggle to have the required impact. De Zerbi failed to win any of his first five Permier League games in charge of Brighton, drawing twice and losing three games, albeit facing a tough schedule. When taking over at Serie A newcomers Benevento mid-season in 2017, De Zerbi's side were praised for the football they played, but were relegated from Italy's top flight. De Zerbi failed to win any of his first nine games in charge of Benevento. The Italian also struggled when taking over Palermo mid-season in 2016, winning just one of his 13 games before being sacked less than three months into the job. Why Spurs fan groups are against De Zerbi appointment Three Tottenham fan groups have previously urged the club to rethink any potential appointment of De Zerbi due to his past backing of Marseille forward Mason Greenwood. Fan groups Proud Lilywhites, Women of the Lane and Spurs Reach all expressed their concerns about the Italian after he worked with Greenwood at Marseille. Ex-Manchester United forward Greenwood was charged in October 2022 with one count of attempted rape, one count of controlling and coercive behaviour and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm over allegations relating to a young woman after images and videos were posted online. The Crown Prosecution Service dropped the charges in February 2023 owing to a "combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses" and due to "no realistic prospect of conviction". Greenwood has since resumed his career and joined Marseille in 2024. In November, De Zerbi described Greenwood as a "good guy" who had paid a "heavy price" and added: "It saddens me what happened in his life, because I know a totally different person than the one who was described." Spurs' LGBTQI+ fan group Proud Lilywhites said: "We've seen the reports linking Roberto De Zerbi with the Tottenham job and honestly, it doesn't sit right. "As Proud Lilywhites, we care deeply about this club, not just what happens on the pitch, but what Tottenham stands for off it. This isn't just about results or style of football. It's about values, identity, and the kind of people we choose to represent us. "We all want Spurs to move forward, but how we do that matters. When someone in that position publicly defends a player like Mason Greenwood, and frames it in a way that downplays the seriousness of what happened, it matters, not just in isolation but in what it signals. "We are proud of the progress that's been made in making football more inclusive and welcoming. "That progress matters, and it cannot be compromised or treated as secondary. "We are not asking for perfection. We are asking for accountability, transparency and leadership that reflects the values this club claims to stand for. All together, always. That has to mean something. No to De Zerbi." Women of the Lane added: "We want to be clear about how this [speculation] is landing with many women and allies in our community. "De Zerbi has publicly defended Mason Greenwood in a way that downplays the seriousness of male violence against women and girls. That raises serious questions about judgement and leadership. "This is not an appointment Tottenham Hotspur should make." A Spurs Reach statement read: "Comments previously attributed to Roberto De Zerbi, including public remarks defending and contextualising Mason Greenwood following serious allegations have been widely criticised for appearing to minimise the gravity of violence against women. "Regardless of intent, framing of this nature risks normalising harmful attitudes, diminishing the experiences of survivors and sending a deeply concerning message about what is tolerated within the game. "We all want the club to progress but it must do so in a way that reflects its values. No to De Zerbi."

By some estimates, up to half of global production of crops and livestock depends on the magical combination of minerals and chemicals that make up synthetic fertiliser. But the Iran war is pushing up prices and squeezing availability of this fundamental element in the food chain at the start of the European and Asian growing season. British fertiliser importers, farmers and growers have told Sky News that rising costs are squeezing food producers, and, in time, will trigger a food inflation spike for consumers. Prices have rocketed because synthetic fertiliser is an energy product, dependent on the same natural gas we use to heat our homes and underpin our electricity grid. The nitrogen that feeds plants around the world is produced from combining the hydrogen from methane (natural gas) with nitrogen in the air (via the Haber-Bosch process, familiar to chemistry students with long memories) to create ammonia. Processed ammonia, in the form of urea or ammonia nitrate, is the raw material of industrial fertiliser, and up to 30% of global supply normally passes through the Gulf. As with oil and gas, the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz has pushed up prices. Urea has soared from close to $300 a tonne at the turn of the year to almost $700 by the end of March. That leaves farmers facing a choice: pay double to produce a normal crop, a cost you may not be able to pass on to consumers immediately, or go without, and see yields shrink. Either way, food prices will inevitably be forced up. UK farmers, growers and ultimately consumers are exposed to these rising prices. Domestic fertiliser production has declined as industrial energy prices have risen and today we produce less than half of the synthetic fertilisers farmers require. With European production increasingly uncompetitive, British importers have to look further afield. At Nitrasol's Great Yarmouth terminal, they meet demand with urea ammonia nitrate imported from Trinidad, shipped first to Sunderland, and then down the North Sea coast to Norfolk. A steady stream of lorries arrive to be filled before heading to farms from Scotland to the South West. Prices agreed with customers before the war began are being honoured, but Nitrasol chairman John Fuller says they will inevitably rise, and, for the second time in four years, the UK is facing a food inflation spike. 'Worse than after Ukraine' "In the last six weeks it's gone up probably by about 25% as we've had to fight off other buyers," Mr Fuller told Sky News. "We had a shipment last Sunday, and those farmers that bought early are securing the old price, but for those who left it to the last minute, I'm afraid that we're having to buy from the new cargoes, those are more expensive. "It's a really serious situation. In some respects, it's worse than it was four years ago in the Ukrainian situation, and we all know what happened six months later. "There was 10% inflation, and that knocked the government right back. And I just hope that the government grips this." Mr Fuller, who sits as a Conservative peer in the House of Lords, wants the government to cancel the adoption of carbon import taxes from next January. A mechanism intended to prevent emissions being exported, many businesses believe they will simply load more cost on to industry. Some 150 miles west, in the Cotswolds, beef farmer David Barton is already paying the price. Ordering fertiliser to treat the pasture that will sustain his suckling heifers and calves through summer, and into next winter as silage, he found prices had risen from £370 to almost £500 a tonne, and would not be available until April. "I really need it this year, because we had a very, very dry summer last year," he says. "Our fodder stocks are low, and generally across the country they're low. But if I didn't put any on, it would be half the yield." Beef farmers may not be able to pass rising prices on to customers immediately. It is sold into a global market, and, while it has seen double-digit inflation for months, the price is set beyond David's farm gate. "Individual businesses are having to take all this risk, and take all of this price shock," he says. "For the country to have food resilience and food security, we need these food businesses like myself to be profitable. "We cannot farm and continue to produce food if it is below the cost of our production. We do need to make sure that we have more resilience in our food supply to make sure the country has the food it needs." 'Disaster' as gas up 90% Horticulture is facing a similar squeeze, doubly so in the glasshouses of the Lea Valley, north of London, where around half a billion salad vegetables are grown every year. At Valley Grown Nurseries, where the rows of crops are measured in miles, the sweet peppers are ready to pick and cherry tomatoes are a couple of weeks off. They are sustained by hundreds of miles of hot water pipes, kept in the low 20s centigrade by gas heating, and a constant diet of fertiliser. Their gas bill has gone up more than 90% In the last month but their prices, agreed with supermarkets last autumn, cannot shift. "It's a disaster, and not only for this organisation, but every organisation that's involved in producing food with gas," says owner Jimmy Russo. Read more:Motorists should 'fill up as normal', minister says'Ripple of fear' among households over Iran war price surge Lee Stiles, of the Lea Valley Growers Association, says the government should declare horticulture an energy-intensive industry to cut its energy costs. Until then, growers face a choice. "The growers are at a crossroads now," he said. "They've planted. For cucumbers, we're in full production. We're picking tomatoes. Peppers and aubergines are a few days and weeks away. "They've got to make a decision. If they can't get more money for their produce, then they're going to have to either stop, send everyone home and lose some money, or carry on and lose even more."

Dean was named best female act at the ceremony, held at Manchester's Co-op Live, and bagged both the album and song of the year prizes for chart-topper The Art Of Loving and its hit track, Man I Need. The star, whose music blends pop, funk and soul, was also among the night's performers, alongside acts including FLO, Aitch and Myles Smith, and a grime medley featuring Chip, D Double E, Nolay, Scorcher and Wiley, curated by DJ Target. This year's show - celebrating 30 years of the MOBOs - also featured special appearances from US stars Pharrell Williams, who was honoured with the global songwriter award, and Slick Rick, who received a lifetime achievement prize. Dean can now add her MOBOs to the trophy shelf after her Grammy win in January. She also dominated the Brit Awards last month. Elsewhere, rapper and singer Jim Legxacy won the gong for best male act, singer-songwriter Raye was honoured in the video of the year category for Where Is My Husband!, and rapper DC3 was named best newcomer and also picked up the prize for best gospel act.

MPs may be on recess - but as the Iran war enters its fifth week should Whitehall ramp up contingency planning for its impact at home? With the Strait of Hormuz still shut and reports of a potential US ground invasion, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will host a roundtable with key stakeholders from industry to discuss the impact of the conflict. Elsewhere, Labour launches its local elections campaign, and the duo look at the polls from a national perspective, assessing the state of the parties with a key month ahead to 7 May. Next Monday, Sam and Anne return with a lookahead to the local elections with academic and pollster Professor Rob Ford. Normal service will resume from Monday 13 April.

Spurs made the surprise decision to turn to Tudor just 44 days ago, after dismissing Thomas Frank. The Croatian had never managed in the Premier League, but had experience of sparking an upturn in form after mid-season arrivals at other clubs, and yet lost his first four matches at the helm in north London. Spurs news & transfers⚪ | Spurs fixtures & scoresGot Sky? Watch Tottenham games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 A club statement on Sunday afternoon read: "We can confirm that it has been mutually agreed for head coach Igor Tudor to leave the club with immediate effect. "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." The most recent defeat came at home to Nottingham Forest on March 22, prior to the international break. Immediately after that game, the 47-year-old learned his father Mario had died. Tudor's exit leaves Spurs without a head coach heading into the final seven games of the Premier League season, as they sit just one place and one point above the relegation zone. The north London club will now look for a third managerial appointment of the season as they aim to avoid relegation to the second tier for the first time since 1977, with their next match at Sunderland on April 12, live on Sky Sports. 'Tudor exit inevitable, just a matter of when, not if' Sky Sports News reporter Michael Bridge: "It was inevitable - what we wanted to know was when they were going to do it. Igor Tudor was informed that his father had passed away literally seconds after Spurs lost against Nottingham Forest and he laid his father Mario to rest in Croatia on Wednesday. "So, you'd imagine that the Tottenham board had decided that they were going to make another change, one final roll of the dice in this terrible season for the football club, but timing is right. "You've got to get the timing right, but at the same time, Spurs have got to think of themselves as well. Relegation for this football club is absolutely unthinkable, but it's so very possible." When asked why Spurs acted now, he added: "I think it comes down again to timing. The awful, tragic news over the passing of his father, but you would have imagined that the board and people would have spoken about it and thought, 'look, let's give this a few days here' because, as I say, I think he was well liked by people inside the football club and given him those few days to grieve."

They were five points clear at the time of Tudor's appointment in 16th place, but he leaves with the gap having been cut to one point, with Spurs now in 17th. 17: The number of minutes before Tudor substituted Antonin Kinsky during the disastrous Champions League last 16 first leg against Atletico Madrid, when the goalkeeper was at fault for two of the Spanish side's goals. 20: The number of goals Spurs conceded across Tudor's seven games in charge in all competitions, at an average of 2.8 per game. 27: Opta's current percentage chance of Spurs being relegated this season, up from just four per cent before Tudor's first game in charge, the 4-1 defeat at home to Arsenal on February 22. Merse: Spurs' relegation more believable than it's ever been Sky Sports' Paul Merson: "I was at Wembley for the Carabao Cup final, but I watched the Spurs game there. Oh man. "At first, Tottenham were on top, and if they had scored, they would have gone on to win the game. But they didn't, and they did what they've become famous for this season. They let in one - and then capitulate. "Spurs getting relegated is more believable today than it's ever been. They got a result against Liverpool, who were poor on the day, and then they played Atletico Madrid and won the game. "You're suddenly thinking: if they play like this, they'll be alright and they'll have no chance of going down. But fast forward to the next Sunday, and you're going: Wow. Wow. "It's really worrying for Tottenham. Really worrying. And if they fall into the bottom three - and they could before they next play - then it becomes difficult for them. "They're going to Sunderland next, and they'll be reunited with their fans after the derby win. Then it's Brighton, who are playing as well as anybody right now. "Spurs also have Chelsea away with two games to go - they don't want to be going there needing points, because that's Chelsea's biggest game of the season. "And then West Ham play Leeds at home on the final day of the season. You couldn't write it, could you?" What's next for Spurs? Your views... Big Truck: Get Tim Sherwood and Harry Redknapp in. Both will bring the fight back into the squad. Smudge081287: Bring in Redknapp along with Sherwood - they both know the club and league, as well as talking so much sense. Joe: Tottenham wouldn't be in the relegation battle if they had kept Thomas Frank. Paul Mac: The only way we survive is to bring in a Tottenham man, be it Redknapp, Sherwood or Robbie Keane. They are people who can instil confidence and know what it means to wear the badge. Ryan Pattenden: Bring in Redknapp or Sherwood along with some ex-players to help this squad.
