Leeds United currently sit a point higher than Tottenham in the Premier League table
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly sacked manager Thomas Frank, with Tuesday evening’s 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United leaving Spurs in a relegation battle against Leeds United.
Leeds sit above Tottenham in the Premier League table following their 2-2 draw at Chelsea, having played the same number of games. Frank, who left Brentford to take up the Spurs job last summer, has won just two of his last 17 matches with the club five points above the drop zone.
Frank has seemingly become the seventh permanent Premier League manager to be dismissed this season. Tottenham face Arsenal in the North London Derby on Sunday before fixtures against Fulham, Crystal Palace and Liverpool.
The Athletic says Spurs have decided that now is the time to part company with Frank and that managerial contingency plans are being drafted. Leeds are not scheduled to travel to Tottenham until May 9, the third-to-last Premier League game of the season.
