Tottenham Hotspur have sacked manager Thomas Frank after their dismal form in the Premier League continued with a 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle United on Tuesday, leaving them just two places above the relegation zone. The former Brentford boss took charge of Spurs in June last year and, despite impressing in the UEFA Champions League, they have struggled in the league.
Thomas Frank has been sacked by Tottenham Hotspur after just 26 league games in charge.
The Dane's fate was sealed after a 2-1 home defeat against Newcastle United in the Premier League on Tuesday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The 11th loss of the season left Spurs 16th in the table, just five points above the relegation zone, having failed to win any of their last eight league games.
The north London side fell at the first hurdle in this season's FA Cup at home to Aston Villa, while they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in the last 16 by Newcastle.
However, Frank did manage to guide Spurs into the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League after finishing fourth in the league phase.
The 52-year-old joined Spurs from Brentford last June on a three-year contract, replacing Ange Postecoglou in the dugout.
The Australian had taken Spurs to UEFA Europa League glory last season, but they also endured their worst-ever Premier League campaign, finishing 17th on 38 points.
The north London side then started strongly under Frank, taking 14 points from their opening seven league games this season, leaving them third in the table.
But they have endured a dramatic decline since, taking 15 points from their next 19 games.
Spurs have failed to win a league game since the turn of the year, drawing against Burnley and losing against West Ham United in that time.
Their home form has been particularly concerning, having picked up just 10 points from 13 league games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season, with only Wolves picking up fewer points on home soil.
Frank had to contend with a significant number of injuries during his tenure, with attacking players James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski not featuring at all this season.
