Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank has highlighted the importance of the club ending their revolving door of managers.

Frank has come under intense scrutiny over how he set up his Tottenham side so defensively in their painful 4-1 defeat to their bitter rivals Arsenal in the Premier League.

Next up for Tottenham is the Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, with both sides set to lock horns for the second time this season, and Spurs will be desperate for a win this time around.

At the start of the campaign, the two sides faced off in the UEFA Super Cup, and it was a thrilling encounter that saw Tottenham go two-nil up, before PSG clawed their way back and went on to win on penalties.

Thomas Frank insists he is the right man for the job

Frank will be hoping for a positive response as his side makes the trip to the French capital, as they look to re-establish some momentum in the Champions League.

Tottenham failed to threaten Arsenal in any aspect of the match at the Emirates, which came just weeks after another abysmal London derby performance in the defeat to Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Ange Postecoglou lost his job after finishing seventeenth in the Premier League, and Europa League success could not save him from keeping his role as head coach.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Speaking at the pre-match press conference in Paris on Tuesday evening, Frank has backed his ability to be able to build a successful team and insists they will learn from their mistakes along the way.

He told Football.London: “Very important! Part of taking this job was to sit here and have the challenges. Of course, I would have loved to sit here and we’ve beaten Arsenal and then face Paris tomorrow night. We lost and we lost badly. Part of that is to manage those setbacks and learn from it and move on from here.
