Thomas Frank sacked by Tottenham after dismal Premier League run - ESPN

Thomas Frank has been sacked as Tottenham Hotspur head coach, the club confirmed on Wednesday.

The 52-year-old leaves his post after eight months in charge with Spurs lying 16th in the Premier League following Tuesday's 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle United.

Frank faced chants of «you're getting sacked in the morning» from Spurs fans who also sang the name of former manager Mauricio Pochettino as they slipped to an 11th league defeat of the campaign.

«The club has taken the decision to make a change in the Men's Head Coach position and Thomas Frank will leave today,» read a club statement.

«Thomas was appointed in June 2025, and we have been determined to give him the time and support needed to build for the future together.

»However, results and performances have led the board to conclude that a change at this point in the season is necessary.

«Throughout his time at the club, Thomas has conducted himself with unwavering commitment, giving everything in his efforts to move the club forward. We would like to thank him for his contribution and wish him every success in the future.»

Sources have told ESPN the club have yet to decide on a replacement plan but an interim appointment is considered more likely at this initial stage. Chief executive Vinai Venkatesham is expected to make a longer statement later on Wednesday.

Sources say Venkatesham recommended the decision to the ownership on Tuesday night after the game as Tottenham's dreadful run of form continued and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium witnessed another toxic evening.

Spurs have won just two of their last 17 league matches — taking 11 points in that time — and the current winless run of eight games is their longest in the Premier League since October 2008.
