Frank sacked by Tottenham after 244 days and 8 games without EPL win | Football | Sport

Thomas Frank has been sacked by Tottenham Hotspur after failing to turn the tide in north London. The Dane was only appointed as Ange Postecoglou’s appointment 244 days ago, with the board hopeful to avoid a repeat of last year’s lacklustre 17th-place finish.

However, what has transpired has been a damning state of affairs. Frank leaves the Lilywhites having failed to make an improvement this term, as Spurs languish in 16th in the Premier League standings with seven wins, eight draws and 11 losses to show for their efforts. In a statement posted on X, David Ornstein wrote: “Thomas Frank sacked as Tottenham Hotspur head coach. #THFC working through various possible contingency plans to replace 52yo Dane as club sit 14th in Premier League – 5 points above relegation zone after 2 wins from 17 matches.”

The club is yet to release an official statement.

It seems as though the writing was on the wall for Frank during Tuesday evening’s humiliating 2-1 loss to Newcastle United on home soil, with a familiar chorus of boos echoing out around the ground. As a result of the defeat, the Lilywhites have also gone a staggering eight games without a win.

Elsewhere, fans took to social media to give their verdict on Frank’s tenure with the club, urging from executives to take immediate action. One person wrote: “Thomas Frank is the worst manager to EVER manage this club,” while another added: “Everyone is asking ‘how has he not been sacked yet?’ But the reason why is CLEAR…Thomas Frank has not been sacked because the #thfc board have NOT got a clue what to do next. That is genuinely terrifying.”

A third wrote: “A very dark day to be a Tottenham fan. I genuinely feel sick. I hope and pray this is the turning point and Thomas Frank is speedily escorted to the Jobcentre,” while a fourth said: “In a game of this significance, the tactics that Thomas Frank has sent us out with here is absolutely catastrophic. Enough is enough now.”
