Tottenham Hotspur dismissed manager Thomas Frank following a 2-1 home lost to Newcastle United on Tuesday.

Frank who took charge last summer after a successful spell at Brentford, leaves Spurs with with the club in 16th place in the Premier League, five points above the relegation zone.

The team has struggled in 2026, failing to win any of their eight League matches so far.

The Dane also leaves with the lowest Premier League home win percentage for a Spurs manager since 2008.

Thomas Frank

Tuesday’s defeat at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium proved decisive, highlighting the team’s struggles with consistency, creativity, and defensive stability.

Frank’s appointment has initially generated optimism due to his reputation for maximizing limited resources at Brentford.

However, managing one of England’s biggest clubs brought greater scrutiny and pressure, with results failing to match expectations.

Frank appointment was initially met with optimism given his track record of turning Brentford into competitive top-flight side.

With the transition to managing one of England’s biggest clubs brought greater scrutiny, higher expectations, and a squad that has underperformed relative to its potential, winning two matches in the last 17 English Premier League (EPL) games.
