Spurs sack Frank amid relegation fears

THOMAS Frank has been sacked as Tottenham Hotspur head coach after a dismal eight-month tenure, with the club languishing in 16th place and staring down a genuine relegation battle.

The final straw for the Spurs board came on Tuesday, following a 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle United. The result left Tottenham just five points above the drop zone and extended their winless Premier League run to eight matches—their worst such run since October 2008. Spurs have won just two of their past 17 league matches and collected only 12 points in that time.

Frank, 52, replaced Ange Postecoglou, who was dismissed in June just over two weeks after leading Spurs to victory in the Europa League final. The club hailed the former Brentford boss as “one of the most progressive and innovative head coaches within the game” when they announced the Danes appointment on a three-year deal.
