Tottenham are now searching for a new manager after the sacking of Thomas Frank.
Frank was finally dismissed by Tottenham on Wednesday morning, leaving the North London outfit 16th in the Premier League and just five points clear of the relegation zone.
The Dane’s final match in charge was a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs’ fourth loss in their last six Premier League games.
Malick Thiaw opened the scoring for the Magpies, with Archie Gray grabbing an equaliser, but Jacob Ramsey’s winner put the final nail in the coffin for Frank.
Harry Redknapp would take Tottenham job
Harry Redknapp has previously urged Tottenham to stick by Frank, but he could now be the one to take the Dane’s place in North London.

Mauricio Pochettino is one of the favourites to take over at Spurs, but the Argentine is currently unavailable, managing the USA national team.
Pochettino could be an option in the summer, after the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup, but if Tottenham were to go down that route, they would need an interim boss until the end of the season.
Redknapp’s name has been floated around as a potential option for the Lilywhites, despite the fact that he has been out of work since 2017.
However, speaking on Sky Sports News, the 78-year-old, who had a four year spell as manager of Tottenham, revealed he would be open to a return to North London.
Redknapp said: “Would I fancy it? Of course I would do it, without a shadow of a doubt.
“They’ve got my number. If anyone wants to ring me, they know where I am.
“But listen, I’m a realist, I don’t live in cuckoo land. It’s very doubtful if I would get the job.”
Tottenham lacking quality interim options
The fact that Redknapp is even being mentioned in terms of the Tottenham job shows the level of managers available right now.
If Spurs do decide to wait until the summer to make a permanent appointment, whether that be Pochettino or someone else, the interim boss has to keep them in the Premier League, above all else.
Ryan Mason, Tim Sherwood and John Heitinga are temporary options for the Lilywhites, but that will hardly fill Tottenham fans with confidence.
It remains to be seen who Spurs choose to replace Frank, but whoever comes in will have a big job on their hands to turn the current situation around.
