Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly weighing up a significant change in the dugout as pressure mounts on Thomas Frank, with a Barcelona legend emerging as a potential candidate to take charge.
Tottenham Hotspur find themselves at a crossroads regarding the performance of the team under the stewardship of the newly appointed Thomas Frank.
The former Brentford manager replaced Ange Postecoglou in the summer and signed a three-year deal as the club hoped for improvement on the pitch following the Australian’s dismal 17th-place finish last term.
Results and performances on the pitch have not improved greatly under the Dane, with Spurs already having suffered six defeats in 16 matches, while Postecoglou ranked higher at the same stage last season.
Tottenham consider Xavi Hernandez move to replace Thomas Frank
Following Spurs‘ poor run of results, Fichajes are now reporting that internal discussions are already underway regarding a potential change in the dugout at Tottenham Hotspur.
It is explained that with results stalling and confidence ebbing away, Xavi Hernandez is a name that has emerged with the north London club showing genuine interest as they weigh their next steps.
Xavi has been out of work since he departed from Barcelona in 2024 after he was sacked, but the Spaniard did enjoy a measure of success in Catalonia, winning two trophies with the club, including a La Liga title.

Conflicting reports on Frank’s future at Spurs
Thomas Frank’s perceived lack of identity and inconsistency is seen as the reason for Tottenham looking elsewhere, with the recent 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest framed as a turning point.
However, the report from the Spanish outlet is entirely different from reports coming from England, where it is claimed that Tottenham are not keen on parting ways with Frank.
The British press have constantly reported that Spurs are instead looking to back Frank in the coming transfer window as they hope he can turn things around in north London.
