Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank is at ‘serious risk’ of losing his job after the 2-1 loss against West Ham United.
Frank appears to be on the brink of losing his Spurs job, as several outlets have claimed that he is under severe pressure following Saturday’s embarrassing 2-1 home loss to relegation-threatened West Ham.
Tottenham’s latest loss leaves them 14th in the Premier League and only ten points clear of the relegation places.
After the loss to West Ham, it has been reported that the north London outfit are ‘weighing up a change’ in the dugout as Frank increasingly looks like the wrong fit for the club.
An insider on X has since claimed that club chiefs ‘called an emergency meeting’ on Saturday evening, while ‘Frank could be sacked if the board reaches agreement’.
Now, Romano has provided a detailed update on Frank’s situation, with the Spurs boss “not safe at this stage”.
“[It’s] a really terrible situation a moment for Tottenham,” Romano said on his YouTube channel.
