"Tottenham Hotspur have sacked manager Thomas Frank after eight months in charge, the Premier League club said on Wednesday, after a woeful run of results left the North London club hovering five points above the relegation zone. Pressure on Frank had been mounting, and Tuesday's 2-1 home defeat by Newcastle United left his team in 16th place with 29 points from 26 matches and looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone."
"Supporters left no doubt about their feelings with jeers ringing out around the club's stadium and chants of You're getting sacked in the morning directed at Frank. It was Tottenham's seventh league defeat at home in the Premier League this season and they have won only two of their 13 league games in front of their own fans. Tottenham supporters were also singing the name of former coach Mauricio Pochettino, who got them to the 2019 Champions League final, on Tuesday."
Tottenham Hotspur dismissed manager Thomas Frank after eight months in charge following a woeful run that left the club five points above the relegation zone. Tuesday's 2-1 home defeat by Newcastle left Tottenham 16th with 29 points from 26 matches. Frank was appointed in June 2025 and the Board said that despite time and support, results and performances necessitated a change. Frank had earlier built Brentford into a top-flight club after joining them in 2018 but failed to replicate that success at Tottenham. Supporters jeered and chanted against Frank and also sang Mauricio Pochettino's name; home form has been poor all season.
