Thomas Frank sacked by Tottenham following home defeat to Newcastle

Thomas Frank has been sacked by Tottenham after Tuesday’s 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle, Press Association understands.

The latest tumultuous result of Frank’s dismal reign resulted in Spurs falling to 16th in the Premier League and made it two wins in 17 league fixtures.

Not for the first time in 2026, Frank faced calls to be “sacked in the morning” by disgruntled Tottenham fans and there were also chants for old boss Mauricio Pochettino during the club’s eighth home loss in all competitions this season.

With 12 days until Spurs host rivals Arsenal on February 22nd, it left chief executive Vinai Venkatesham, sporting director Johan Lange and the Lewis family, which runs the club’s major shareholder ENIC, with a decision to make over Frank’s future and they have dismissed the 52-year-old, PA understands.
