Thomas Frank’s tenure as head coach of Tottenham Hotspur is not immediately under threat, despite the team’s recent downturn in form. Reports indicate that while Spurs’ performances have slipped, with a solitary win in their last eight outings across all competitions, Frank remains secure until at least the New Year to rectify the situation.
The team drew against Newcastle United on Tuesday night, leaving Spurs positioned 11th in the Premier League standings. Cristian Romero’s brace salvaged a point from the fixture, representing only their second point from a possible 15 in five league matches. Further slippage in the table is possible, pending Brentford’s result against Arsenal.
Despite the troubling form, Frank expressed confidence in the club’s owners, saying, “I’m very confident. They’re intelligent people, beginning to understand the complexities of football as they take the reins of this club.” He stressed the importance of building a sustainable foundation for future success.
Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke reports there is ‘no immediate pressure’ on Frank to vacate his position, with inside sources confirming the board’s continued support as the festive period approaches. While some fans are eager for a change, the former Brentford manager retains the club’s backing.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano corroborated this, asserting Frank’s job is being “monitored closely but nothing else at the moment.” Spurs’ board demands improved results, yet they are prepared to give Frank time to alter the team’s trajectory.
Destiny Udogie has spoken of the squad’s unity, emphasising their collective effort to flourish under Frank’s leadership. “We are always together,” Udogie said. “We just have to stick together and keep going.”
