Tottenham sack Thomas Frank after worst Premier League record in club history

Frank’s tumultuous eight months at Tottenham Hotspur inevitably came to an end this morning, with the club’s hierarchy wielding the ax after another dismal home performance.

The Dane has Spurs teetering on the verge of winning the title. Premier League A poor start to 2026 left the Lewis family with no choice but to end his tenure and slip into the relegation zone.

The 52-year-old becomes Tottenham’s sixth permanent managerial change in seven years since the departure of Mauricio Pochettino in 2019, who was sacked after just two wins in his last 17 games.

Spurs are currently 16th, just five points away from the title, and Frank’s position became untenable after Tuesday night’s 2-1 defeat at Newcastle, sparking an outcry from fans who booed the manager.

Chant calls for his immediate removal rang out around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with fans’ patience finally running out.

The former Brentford boss, who arrived last June after seven successful years with the Bees and whose reputation has grown despite Australia’s Europa League triumphs, replaced popular predecessor Anj Postkoglu.

It wasn’t helped that Frank signed a three-year contract but failed to survive even one season and his results plummeted. Injury list a mile long now includes Wilson O’Dobert.

Tactical sterility ultimately led to Frank’s defeat.

Supporters accustomed to Postkoglu’s attacking philosophy have grown increasingly frustrated with the predictable, bland football that puts caution over entertainment.

Their lack of identity is obvious and very disturbing to watch, with supporters now hoping that the much-criticized Tottenham board will actually make the right choice for Frank’s replacement.

By far the most high-profile name is Pochettino, who led Tottenham to a shock run to the Champions League final in 2019 and consecutive top-four finishes on a shoestring budget.

With the right support, who knows what the Argentines could achieve, the report said Pochettino keen to rejoin Tottenham After leading Team USA to win the World Cup on home soil.

However, Pochettino is by no means their only candidate.

Tottenham preparing ‘compelling financial offer’ for Xavi

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a “compelling financial offer” for the former Barcelona boss, according to Spanish journalist Hector Andreu HarveyHe has been a free agent since leaving Camp Nou in 2024.

Tottenham reportedly held talks with Xavi as they search for Postkoglu’s successorand the love seems to remain as they draft a convincing managerial shortlist.

The 46-year-old Camp Nou legend has won two league titles, including La Liga with Barcelona and the Qatar Stars League with Al Sadd, in addition to six domestic trophies in Catalonia and the Middle East.

However, although Tottenham are ready to make a tempting offer to Xaviviewing him as a manager they can “build for the future”, the tactician has revealed little about his preferred next move.

Xavi has been patiently deciding on his next club and is likely to be wary of approaches from north London given their recent decline and the potential task on his hands.

In terms of his suitability, the name Xavi has some Spurs fans excited because of his style of play and big name, but that’s not why he’s interested in a move to the N17 right now.

Still, that hasn’t stopped Lange and his colleagues, who are thought to be exploring Xavi as a serious option.
