Spurs Sack Frank: Champions League Runs, Premier League Woes

Tottenham Hotspur has officially announced the dismissal of their head coach, Thomas Frank, on February 11, 2026. The decision comes after a difficult period for the club in the Premier League, where they currently sit in 14th place, just five points above the relegation zone. Frank's tenure, which began in the summer of 2025, has been marked by a significant struggle for consistent results in domestic competition.

While the team experienced a positive run in the UEFA Champions League, reaching the Round of 16, their Premier League performance has been a major concern. With only seven wins, eight draws, and eleven losses in 26 games, Tottenham has scored 36 goals and conceded 37. Their underlying expected goals (xG) data suggests they have been overperforming, which further compounds the worry for the club's management and fans.
