Wednesday, February 11, 2026 - Tottenham Hotspur have sacked Thomas Frank just eight months after appointing him.
The decision was made after Frank watched his side slip to
their 11th league defeat of the season in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at home to
Newcastle.
Spurs are 16th in the Premier League and just five points
above the relegation zone after a dreadful run of form.
The North London side are winless in their past eight
Premier League games - their longest run without a victory since October 2008.
They have won just two of their past 17 league matches and
picked up only 12 points in that time.
Frank took over as head coach in June after Ange Postecoglou
was sacked and signed a deal until 2028, but proved unable to notably improve
the club's league form despite strong results in European competition.
Despite a Premier League record of seven wins, eight draws
and 11 defeats this season, the Dane led Spurs to automatic qualification for
the last 16 of the Champions League by finishing fourth in the group stage.
Frank exits having won just 13 of his 38 games in charge,
with the loss to Newcastle giving him the worst Premier League win percentage
of any Spurs manager in the Premier League era with just 26.9 per cent.
The 52-year-old's departure means Spurs are searching for
their sixth permanent manager in seven years since Mauricio Pochettino left in
2019.
Frank's successor will take over a side that is out of both
domestic cup competitions, but remains in the Champions League knockout stages
after the Dane guided them to a fourth-place finish in the table.
