Frank under pressure as Tottenham consider parting with manager
Tottenham Hotspur are internally assessing Thomas Frank’s future after a difficult start to his tenure, with growing concern at board level and supporter unrest adding pressure on the head coach.
Frank, appointed last summer following Ange Postecoglou’s dismissal, has overseen a challenging seven months marked by inconsistent results and declining confidence around the club.
While the hierarchy initially committed to a long-term view, recent performances have triggered a strategic reassessment.
BBC Sport reveals that at least one senior executive has formally raised the possibility of terminating Frank’s contract in recent weeks, signalling that patience within the boardroom may be wearing thin.
Results fuel boardroom doubts
Saturday’s home defeat to West Ham has intensified scrutiny. Spurs sit 14th in the Premier League after 22 matches, with just seven wins recorded so far.
The loss extended a poor run that has seen the club win only once in their last eight outings.
Tottenham are already out of both domestic cup competitions, removing potential buffers that might have eased pressure on the coaching staff.
While the club have so far resisted making a reactive decision, internal discussions are now centred on whether immediate change is required or whether Frank should be given additional time to stabilise results.
Fans turn as atmosphere sours
Supporter sentiment has shifted sharply in recent weeks. During the closing stages of the West Ham defeat, sections of the home crowd directed chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” at Frank, underlining growing frustration in the stands.
European stakes add urgency
Despite domestic struggles, Tottenham remain in contention in Europe. They are currently 11th in the Champions League table and face Borussia Dortmund this week in a fixture considered pivotal to their knockout-stage ambitions.
That match could prove significant beyond continental qualification. A positive result may buy Frank time, while another setback would likely accelerate decision-making at board level.
