Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly offered the manager's job to former Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez, with Spurs believing it's time to explore different options in the dugout, according to Fichajes.
It's been a season of disappointment for Spurs, who currently sit in 14th position in the Premier League table, with just two wins under their belt at home. Pressure has mounted even further on the manager after their loss against struggling West Ham United at the weekend, with Nuno Espirito Santo's side failing to win in their previous nine games before their short trip to north London.
David Ornstein recently reported that Frank has lost some of the support of his players, with 'many' dissatisfied with the job he is currently doing at Tottenham. The respected journalist also claimed that it's a matter of when, not if, Frank is sacked as manager.
Tottenham Offer Job to Xavi
According to a report from Fichajes, Tottenham have made contact with Xavi to offer him the manager's job. It's claimed that Frank's future is now 'hanging by a thread' with Spurs believing it's time for them to explore other options in the dugout.
It's unclear whether Xavi is willing to accept the offer as it stands, 'calmly' analysing the situation as he waits on the right opportunity for his next role. Xavi, described as 'the best manager in the world' by Joan Laporta, will see his future decided in the coming months, but Spurs clearly want to bring him in as soon as possible, with Frank walking on thin ice.
Whether Xavi accepts the reported offer remains to be seen, but Spurs aren't the only club in the race for his signature, and the Spanish manager has some decisions to make in the coming days.
Tottenham's Season is Far From Over
Although Spurs sit in 14th position in the Premier League table, their season is far from over, especially if they bring in a new manager to kickstart some momentum. The north London club are just six points away from seventh, and nine points away from the top four.
The Premier League is incredibly tight between 16th and fourth, so there's opportunities all across the division for clubs to put a run together and climb the table. With Spurs also competing in the Champions League, there is plenty for a new manager to get their teeth into if a chance if made in the near future.
