Tottenham Hotspur have sacked manager Thomas Frank after just seven months in charge following another dreadful season, the club has confirmed.
Spurs were beaten 2-1 at home by Newcastle United on Tuesday night as the north London club remain without a Premier League win since their victory against Sunderland on December 28.
Their poor run of form has seen them drop to 16th position in the Premier League table, just five points above West Ham United in the final relegation spot.
Tottenham are in a relegation battle right now, and Frank hasn't been given the opportunity to lead them in their next match against leaders and arch-rivals Arsenal in just under a fortnight's time.
Having won just two of their previous 17 Premier League matches, Tottenham's board have decided enough is enough and dismissed Frank.
A statement from the club read:
'The Club has taken the decision to make a change in the Men’s Head Coach position and Thomas Frank will leave today.
'Thomas was appointed in June 2025, and we have been determined to give him the time and support needed to build for the future together.
'However, results and performances have led the Board to conclude that a change at this point in the season is necessary.
'Throughout his time at the Club, Thomas has conducted himself with unwavering commitment, giving everything in his efforts to move the Club forward. We would like to thank him for his contribution and wish him every success in the future.'
The Dane was brought in with the expectation of improving Spurs' fortunes following a 17th-placed finish in the league under Ange Postecoglou last term, but it hasn't worked out.
While Tottenham remain in the Champions League, the 52-year-old won't have the opportunity to oversee their next round match.
According to David Ornstein, Spurs are yet to make a decision on Frank's replacement and they are working through various contingency plans to try and get their season back on track.
Tottenham Have Two Options to Replace Frank Now
It was reported last month, just after his arrival at the club, that new first-team assistant John Heitinga was seen as a contender to take charge of Tottenham for the rest of the season should the axe fall on Frank.
That will be an option for ENIC now if they want to wait until the summer when the manager market is likely to be more fruitful. The futures of many World Cup coaches, including Spurs legend Mauricio Pochettino and England's Thomas Tuchel, are uncertain following the conclusion of the tournament.
Tottenham also have the opportunity to turn to former Brighton and Hove Albion boss Roberto De Zerbi, who left Marseille by mutual consent on Tuesday night following Sunday's 5-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain.
