The pressure on Thomas Frank reached a fever pitch today as reports emerged that the Tottenham board is actively considering a managerial change.
Saturday’s 2-1 loss at home to struggling West Ham United served as a “point of no return” for many supporters, who voiced their frustrations loudly at the final whistle.
The defeat was Tottenham’s third in a row and their eighth in the last 14 matches, leaving the club languishing in 14th place. Captain Cristian Romero labeled the current period a “disaster moment” for the team, which has already been eliminated from both domestic cup competitions.
Speculation regarding a successor is already rife, with recently dismissed Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso and former manager Mauricio Pochettino being touted as potential candidates.
Frank is scheduled to lead training this afternoon ahead of a pivotal European clash against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, but sources suggest his role is under serious threat.
The club’s hesitancy to act immediately reportedly stems from a lack of a clear, ready-to-go alternative, but with the season spiraling out of control, a decision could be made within hours.
