Thomas Frank Exits Spurs After Lifeless, Ineffective Spell in Charge
Tottenham, 16th in the Premier League and winless in 2026, replaced Frank after a home defeat; De Zerbi, recently leaving Marseille, is a top candidate for the managerial role.
- On Wednesday morning, Tottenham Hotspur sacked Thomas Frank after stakeholders agreed to change the first-team coach following a 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle.
- Frank had overseen a team hampered by injuries and a suspension to captain Cristian Romero, while the squad finished 17th last season amid years of mismanagement after Daniel Levy's exit.
- Statistical evidence showed poor attacking returns and defensive instability in defeats to Chelsea and Arsenal with three shots and 0.12 xG versus Chelsea and three shots and 0.07 xG against Arsenal.
- With De Zerbi now free, Spurs must decide between interim options like Robbie Keane and a long-term appointment, following his departure from Marseille on Tuesday after a 5-0 defeat at PSG.
- The vacancy prompts Spurs' leaders to reconsider long-term strategy, as Mauricio Pochettino remains committed to the USA men's national team and is unlikely to be available soon, with the club seeking their sixth manager since Pochettino's departure.
