An ‘outstanding’ manager is now being replaced Thomas Frankwho was fired tottenham hotspur After defeating Newcastle United.
Frank sacked after Newcastle defeat
Tottenham Hotspur ranked 16th Premier LeagueFrank, who had just 29 points in 26 games, has been relieved of his duties, with the following statement from the club: “Thomas was appointed in June 2025 and we are determined to give him the time and support he needs to build a future together.
“However, the results and performance have led the board to conclude that changes are necessary at this stage of the season.”
Considering Spurs are just five points above the relegation zone, it’s no surprise that ENIC has been forced to take action as Spurs’ Premier League status could be called into question.
With the Lilywhites performing so poorly, the job may be difficult for some of Europe’s top managers to take, and a report from TEAMtalk suggests they are expected to appoint an interim manager until the end of the season if they decide to sack Frank.
Johnny Heitinga is one of the options, with the Dutchman already reaching N17, but there is an alternative target in the frame, namely Ryan MasonHe is available after being sacked by West Bromwich Albion in early January.
Mauricio Pochettino is one of the targets in the long term, with some Tottenham fans making it clear they want to see the Argentine return, but Mason could be a safe bet between now and the end of the season…
Mason could be solid option despite recent firing
Michael Carrick has made a very promising start at Manchester United, scoring 13 points in his first five games despite being sacked by Championship side Middlesbrough, so it shouldn’t be a big deal that the former Tottenham midfielder’s first managerial job doesn’t go as planned.

In addition, the 34-year-old knows the club well, having served as coach in N17 while he has also become interim head coach, winning four of the seven games he has coached in the 2020-21 season.
Angie Postkoglu He is also an admirer of the Englishman, saying of his former coach: “Ryan Mason takes care of the set pieces and he’s been great all year, and Maier (Jedinak), I think we did a great job again on defending the set pieces because they’re a threat there.
“We’ve been great in this area all year and that’s a credit to both coaches.”
Therefore, Mason, who prefers to adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation, may be a short-term solution, but Tottenham have seriously underperformed in the Premier League over the past two seasons and bringing in a top coach in the summer is crucial.
