Tottenham weigh options as Frank's future hangs in balance
Tottenham Hotspur are actively debating whether to terminate manager Thomas Frank's tenure following another disappointing Premier League defeat, sources close to the club tell BBC Sport.
Seven-month spell marred by poor results
Frank, appointed last June after Ange Postecoglou's departure, has overseen a struggling side that has secured just seven victories in 22 league matches this season. The team currently sits 14th in the table, with only one win in their last eight games across all competitions.
Saturday's 1-0 home loss to West Ham United intensified scrutiny, with sections of the crowd openly jeering and chanting "you're getting sacked in the morning" during the match's closing stages.
Executive dissent grows
At least one member of Tottenham's leadership team has reportedly pushed for Frank's dismissal in recent weeks, according to BBC Sport. While the club had previously stood by the Danish coach despite inconsistent performances, the latest defeat has forced a reassessment.
Club officials must now decide whether to act immediately or allow Frank a final opportunity to reverse the team's fortunes.
European hopes hinge on Dortmund clash
Tottenham's struggles extend beyond domestic competitions-they were eliminated from both the FA Cup and League Cup earlier this season. In the Champions League, they occupy 11th place in their group and face a must-win match against Borussia Dortmund this week to keep knockout-stage aspirations alive.
Fan frustration boils over
The home crowd's reaction to the West Ham defeat, including boos and calls for Frank's removal, underscores the growing discontent among supporters. Many have already lost confidence in the former Brentford manager, whose appointment was initially met with cautious optimism.
What's next?
Tottenham's hierarchy is expected to convene in the coming days to evaluate Frank's future. A decision could come before or after the Dortmund match, depending on the urgency perceived by the board.
