Tottenham Hotspur have parted ways with manager Thomas Frank following a woeful Premier League campaign since he succeeded Ange Postecoglou ahead of 2025-26.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club have lost 11 league games this term, and the 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle United last night proved to be the final straw.
Spurs expect to make an interim appointment until the end of the season, according to the Telegraph, but it is unclear who will replace Frank in the short term.
According to The Athletic journalist David Ornstein, Tottenham are working through various possible contingency plans to replace the former Brentford boss.
Plenty of managers are expected to be linked with Spurs going forward, but a permanent appointment may not happen until the end of the season.
Marseille parted with Roberto De Zerbi in the early hours of today, and he could emerge as a contender to replace Frank.
Mauricio Pochettino has also been often linked with a return to Tottenham, and he could be available after the World Cup in July.
Frank did not do enough to convince the fans or board that he has what it takes to lead Spurs to the next level despite the several injury woes which beleaguered his squad.
The club will hope to get their next appointment right. They need to have someone in place who can hit the ground running when they take on Arsenal on February 22.
They are 16th in the league table, five points above the relegation zone, and a defeat to the Gunners could drop them to 17th if Nottingham Forest collect four points over their next two games.
Spurs face Fulham, Crystal Palace and Liverpool in the league after the Arsenal game, and they could be in a relegation battle if their results do not improve.
