Tottenham head coach, Thomas Frank, is currently facing significant internal scrutiny as the club contemplates ending his seven-month tenure. The Dane's underwhelming performance since his appointment last summer has led to this precarious situation.
BBC Sport reports that at least one member of the club's executive team has actively considered terminating Frank's reign in recent weeks. Despite Spurs' struggles this season, the club has so far supported Frank. However, Saturday's home defeat by West Ham has put his position under threat as the club's hierarchy deliberates whether to take immediate action or give him a chance to turn things around.
The loss leaves Spurs 14th in the Premier League standings with just seven wins out of their 22 games this season. This disappointing performance has led to widespread discontent among fans who have lost faith in the former Brentford boss. During the closing stages of their loss against West Ham, fans taunted him with chants of "you're getting sacked in the morning."
Frank joined Tottenham only last June following Ange Postecoglou’s dismissal.
Recent performance and upcoming challenges
Spurs have had a dismal run recently with just one win from their past eight matches and are no longer contenders in both domestic cup competitions. They currently stand at 11th place in Champions League rankings.
This week they face Borussia Dortmund - a match crucial for their hopes of qualifying for knockout stages. Given their current form and fan sentiment, it will be interesting to see how they fare against Dortmund and whether it will impact Frank’s future at Tottenham.
Thomas Frank finds himself on shaky ground after an underwhelming start at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. With mounting pressure from both inside and outside of the organization due to poor performances on field, it remains uncertain if he will be able to steer Spurs back into winning ways or if his reign will be cut short. The upcoming match against Borussia Dortmund could prove pivotal in determining his future with the club.
