Tottenham Hotspur have sacked manager Thomas Frank following Tuesday night’s 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle United, Sky Sports reports.
The Danish coach, who joined Spurs last summer after a highly successful spell at Brentford, leaves with the club struggling in 16th place in the Premier League, five points above the relegation zone.
Frank holds the record for the worst Premier League home win percentage of any Tottenham manager since 2008, with the team failing to secure a single victory in their eight league matches in 2026. The defeat to Newcastle proved the final straw, as Spurs struggled with inconsistency, creativity, and defensive stability.
Despite early optimism surrounding his appointment, based on his track record at Brentford, Frank was unable to replicate that success at one of England’s biggest clubs.
Tottenham confirmed the decision in a statement on X, saying:
“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.”Read More: Heineken to Cut Up to 6,000 Jobs Amid Slumping Global Beer Volumes
