A championship-winning manager now a strong candidate for replacement Thomas Frank as manager tottenham hotspur.

Spurs view ‘real leader’ as Frank replacement

After a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United that ultimately cost Frank his job, Jamie O’Hara Said without mercy: “He’s one of the worst head coaches we’ve ever had. This team is appalling.

“It’s terrible. Honestly, the whole park is dumb. It’s dumb everywhere. Recruiting: appalling. Thomas Frank: appalling. Football: appalling. Everything is an absolute mess.”

The Dane averaged just 1.29 points per game during his brief spell as Spurs manager, so it’s no wonder ENIC decided to pull the trigger and have now moved on to bring in a replacement.

Bringing in an interim head coach until the end of the season is a possibility, and Robbie KeaneThe position of accepting the job on a temporary basis was recently revealed.

Bournemouth AFC and other teams Anthony IolaraU.S. national team manager Mauricio Pochettino and former Marseille coach Roberto Dezerbi Also under consideration, but so is a lesser-known manager.

According to SportsBoom, Tottenham now looking for Rui Borges as Frank’s replacementWith the Sporting CP boss emerging as a strong candidate, the north Londoners are also keen to test him out.

Spurs are eager to negotiate, having impressed with the way he has turned things around for Sporting since replacing Ruben Amorim’s successor Joao Pereira in December 2024.

The 44-year-old’s contract expires at the end of the season, meaning the Lilywhites may be able to bring him in without paying compensation if they are willing to wait.
