It has been a terrible season for Tottenham under Thomas Frank, with the team winning just two games in the last seventeen EPL matches and yet to get a victory this year.

Last night saw Tottenham lose again at home, this time going down 2-1 to Newcastle. Tottenham are in 17th position with just 29 points and are now in a relegation dog fight.

When Ange Postecoglou was sacked last year, and Frank was brought in, he was hailed as a saviour and the work he did at Brentford was cited as a big draw. It was said that Postecoglou’s all-out attacking style was to the detriment of the team and spelt defeat after defeat. He went on to win the Europa Cup with Tottenham, their first piece of silverware in decades.

What has transpired over the last eight months is that the job proved too big for Frank, and, plagued by a horrendous injury list, he had no solutions and kept notching up defeats.

A statement issued by the club this morning read: “The club has taken the decision to make a change in the Men’s Head Coach position and Thomas Frank will leave today.

“Thomas was appointed in June 2025, and we have been determined to give him the time and support needed to build for the future. However, results and performances have led the Board to conclude that change at this point in the season is necessary. Throughout his time at the club, Thomas has conducted himself with unwavering commitment, giving everything in his efforts to move the club forward.”

Tottenham are doing well in the Champions League and have made it to the last sixteen. The north London club have been knocked out of both the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup this season.

Under Frank, Tottenham have picked up just two points in their last six EPL matches-a dismal statistic.

After losing to Newcastle last night, the writing was on the wall. When asked whether he had the right stuff to reverse Tottenham’s fortunes and ensure the team remained in the EPL next season, Frank boldly declared: “I am 1000 per cent sure. But I’m also 1000 sure I never expected us to be in a situation like this with 11 or 12 injuries.

“I know when you need to build something and get through something, you need to show unbelievably strong resilience. It’s fair to say there’s a few before me up here, not only for Tottenham but many clubs who have lost their head. “You need to have a calm head and carry on, keep fighting and make sure we stick together. You can only get through this together—that’s the board, the leaders, the players, the staff, that’s me, the fans.”

The top brass didn’t see it his way and had enough, and Frank had to go. Frank only had a 34 per cent win rate according to Sofascore.

Tottenham will now look for an interim manager to salvage this season and ensure they stay up.

Perhaps they should give Tim Sherwood a call.
