If Thomas Frank needed any further confirmation that his time at Spurs was coming to an end, all he had to do was check social media where there was a growing sentiment calling for a 78-year-old Cheltenham Gold Cup owner to replace him.
Some voices even suggested Harry Redknapp should step in at Tottenham Hotspur for the remainder of the season following Frank’s departure. It’s worth noting that Redknapp has been absent from managing a Premier League team for over eleven years and had a less than impressive record in his last stint.
The notion of Redknapp taking over, despite some former players endorsing it, seemed more like a jest than a serious proposal.
However, the reality was no laughing matter for Frank. The performance of his team left little room for doubt that his tenure at Tottenham had to end.
Frank’s points-per-game average of 1.12 was the lowest among Spurs managers with more than five matches in charge. Their form had been deteriorating, with no Premier League victories in 2026 and just two wins in the last 17 games.
While the relationship between Frank and the Spurs fanbase was strained from the start, external factors like injuries to key players also played a role in his struggles to complete the season.
Despite some unfortunate circumstances, there were undeniable periods of poor form, including a series of defeats and draws that painted a grim picture of the team’s performance under Frank.
Looking at the matches closely, the timing of conceding goals in critical moments and instances of players’ self-inflicted mistakes added to the team’s woes.
Notably, in the midst of their struggles, Frank managed to guide Spurs to a respectable position in the Champions League standings.
