- Tottenham Hotspur sacked head coach Thomas Frank following a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle, leaving the club 16th in the Premier League
- The board cited poor form and inconsistency as reasons for the decision
- Spurs began a search for a new manager to stabilise the squad and improve results ahead of crucial upcoming fixtures
Tottenham Hotspur have announced the sacking of head coach Thomas Frank, following a disappointing start to their Premier League campaign. The club confirmed the decision on Wednesday.
Frank’s dismissal comes in the wake of Tuesday’s 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle United, a result that left Spurs 16th in the league, just five points above the relegation zone.
The loss intensified concerns over the club’s form this season, with mounting pressure on the management to arrest a slump that has threatened Tottenham’s top-flight status.
The Premier League outfit has yet to announce a permanent replacement, and the search for a new head coach is expected to dominate the club’s agenda in the coming days.
Tottenham’s poor run of results has followed a period of optimism, with expectations high for a competitive season. However, inconsistency on the pitch and disappointing performances have forced the board to take decisive action.
Fans and analysts alike have speculated about potential candidates to take over, with the club expected to weigh experience, tactical acumen, and the ability to stabilise the squad in their decision.
This move comes shortly after other managerial changes in European football, including Roberto De Zerbi leaving Marseille by mutual agreement, highlighting a season of early upheavals across top leagues.
Tottenham now face a crucial period to regroup and ensure survival in the Premier League, with the next fixtures expected to be critical in shaping the remainder of their season.
