Tottenham Hotspur Sacks Thomas Frank After Newcastle Loss

Tottenham Hotspur has officially relieved Thomas Frank of his duties as head coach after a disappointing 2-1 loss at home to Newcastle United, which left the team in 16th place in the Premier League. Frank, who was appointed in June 2025, faced significant challenges over the past few months, with the team winning only seven out of 26 league matches, drawing eight, and losing 11.

The club's statement emphasized the board's support for Frank during the rebuilding process but acknowledged that a change was necessary due to a lack of progress. Frank's departure marks him as the fifth permanent manager since Mauricio Pochettino's exit in 2019.

Current frontrunners for the managerial position include Mauricio Pochettino, Oliver Glasner, Xabi Alonso, and Marco Silva, as Tottenham embarks on a search for a new manager to stabilize the dugout.
