Tottenham Hotspur Seeks Interim Manager Before Arsenal Clash

Tottenham Hotspur has initiated a search for an interim manager after the dismissal of head coach Thomas Frank earlier in the week. The club is currently facing a challenging situation, sitting just five points above the relegation zone, prompting the hierarchy to act swiftly to stabilize performance.

According to BBC Sport, sources within the club disclosed that Spurs are confident of finalizing an agreement for a temporary replacement before the squad returns to training on Monday. The urgency is heightened due to the upcoming North London derby against Arsenal, scheduled for February 22.

Thomas Frank's departure followed a series of poor results that dragged Tottenham closer to the relegation fight. The club's early exit from the FA Cup has provided a nine-day break to implement a new technical structure.

Tottenham intends to conduct a comprehensive search for a permanent successor by the end of the season, although the temporary appointment may be considered for a long-term position if performance improves significantly. Names linked to the managerial role include former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino and Roberto De Zerbi, who is currently a free agent.
