Glen Riddersholm is unhappy about claims stating Thomas Frank’s position at Tottenham Hotspur is in danger.
Riddersholm has managed Denmark U17s, FC Midtjylland and several other clubs. He also worked as an assistant manager at Norwich City last season.
The Dane is currently a pundit for Viaplay, where he talked about the Tottenham boss, and Tipsbladet have relayed his comments.
Frank has managed 22 matches since taking over Spurs last summer. The north London club won eight and lost eight, which includes a defeat in the EFL Cup to Newcastle United.
Tottenham have five wins after 14 league matches this season and are currently 11th in the table. They could have suffered another defeat against the Magpies if not for Cristian Romero’s late equaliser against the Magpies on Tuesday.
They have one win in their last eight matches, and it came against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League. The Europa League winners’ recent poor run has led to suggestion in England that Frank’s job could be in danger.
There’s anger in Denmark about the suggestion made in England about Frank’s role at Spurs. Despite their recent poor run, Riddersholm insists Tottenham have done well under Frank.
“I think it is completely ridiculous that Thomas Frank should fear for his job. I think he is doing a fantastic job,” he said.
“Everyone who is close to Tottenham and follows it from a distance knows that what he has done so far has been excellent. You can only play with the cards you are dealt, and I think there are obvious shortcomings in the squad he is coaching.”
