00:01Thomas Frank has been sacked by Tottenham Hotspur with the club finally losing patience
00:06following a dismal 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle on Tuesday. Despite Frank's post-match insistence
00:13that he remain to be the man to lead the club, the Spurs hierarchy acted the following morning
00:17to terminate his three-year contract just eight months after paying Brentford £6.7 million for
00:23his services. The defeat to Newcastle was the final straw in a toxic atmosphere at the Tottenham
00:29Hotspur Stadium where fans vocally demanded Frank's exit. The result leaves Spurs in 16th
00:35place, languishing just five points above the drop zone.
00:41The statistics of Frank's tenure are damning a wingless streak that has now stretched to eight
00:46Premier League matches and a total of 11 losses this campaign. While Frank inherited a difficult
00:52situation from Ange Postakoglu and dealt with a staggering injury list that saw 11 first-team
00:57players sideline this week, his win rate of roughly 27% is the lowest of any big six manager
01:03in Premier League history. Though the board initially cited a rough hand to Frank was dealt,
01:10the reality of looming relegation and the 12-day gap before the North London derby against Arsenal
01:16forced their hand. With Frank's marathon vision cut short, the club is now reportedly eyeing Roberto
01:22to Zerbi or a potential return from Mauricio Pochettino to steady the ship.
