Tottenham Dismisses Coach Thomas Frank Following Poor Premier League Performance
Tottenham Hotspur has dismissed coach Thomas Frank after a disappointing run in the Premier League, marking only eight months in charge. The decision comes following a dire performance, with the team just five points above the relegation zone.
Coaching Changes at Tottenham
Frank’s time as head coach ended after the team suffered a 2-1 loss to Newcastle, resulting in boos from home fans. Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the change, emphasizing the need for better results as the season progresses.
- Frank was appointed in June 2025.
- His tenure included leading the team to the Champions League round of 16.
- However, Spurs have not won a league match since December 28, 2025.
Performance Overview
During his stint, Frank managed just seven wins out of 26 league matches. This poor form peaked with one win in their last 11 Premier League games, resulting in Spurs dropping to 16th place in the standings.
Injury Concerns and Squad Challenges
Frank’s task was further complicated by a significant injury list, including key players like:
- James Maddison
- Dejan Kulusevski
- Rodrigo Bentancur
- Mohammed Kudus
- Lucas Bergvall
Additionally, captain Cristian Romero was absent due to a suspension following a red card against Manchester United.
Looking Ahead
Despite the turmoil, Frank expressed his belief in his ability to turn things around, stating his commitment to improvement. His dismissal leaves Tottenham searching for their sixth coach since Mauricio Pochettino’s departure in 2019.
Past coaches, including Antonio Conte and José Mourinho, also struggled to revitalize the team. Frank’s inability to build on Brentford’s success has added to the club’s frustration.
As Tottenham evaluates its direction, the focus will be on finding a new head coach who can instill confidence and results amid a crucial season.
