Tottenham Hotspur have sacked manager Thomas Frank following Tuesday night’s 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle United, according to Sky Sports.
The Dane, who joined Spurs last summer after a highly successful spell at Brentford, where he consistently over-performed with limited resources, departs with the club languishing in 16th place in the Premier League table. Tottenham sit five points clear of the relegation zone but have endured a dismal run of form.
Frank holds the unwanted record for the worst Premier League home win percentage among Tottenham managers since 2008. The team have failed to secure a single victory in their eight league matches played in 2026, a sharp decline that ultimately cost him his job.
The 2-1 loss to Newcastle at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium proved the final straw. Despite flashes of promise earlier in his tenure, results have deteriorated markedly, with the side struggling for consistency, creativity, and defensive solidity.
Frank’s appointment was initially met with optimism given his track record of turning Brentford into a competitive top-flight side. However, the transition to managing one of England’s biggest clubs brought greater scrutiny, higher expectations, and a squad that has underperformed relative to its potential.
The Club confirming the sack in a statement shared on X wrote, “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 together. However, results and performances have led the Board to conclude that a 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. We would like to thank him for his contribution and wish him every success in the future.”
