Breaking: Fabrizio Romano Reveals Key Update on Thomas Frank’s Future as Tottenham Discussions Advance
Fabrizio Romano has issued a fresh update on the future of under-pressure Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank, confirming that his position is now “not safe” following Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to West Ham United.
The loss extended Spurs’ winless run to five matches in all competitions, with Callum Wilson’s stoppage-time goal sealing another damaging result. Tottenham were again jeered by sections of the home crowd, while chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” rang out from the South Stand, underlining the growing frustration toward Frank as pressure mounts in N17.
Tottenham are now facing a crucial period, with a major UEFA Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund scheduled for Tuesday night. Although the Lewis family and the club’s board had previously continued to back Frank, the latest setback appears to have prompted renewed internal discussions.
GIVEMESPORT reports that talks have taken place behind the scenes regarding the Dane’s future, a claim Romano supported during a YouTube update to supporters on Sunday.
Romano explained that Tottenham attempted to demonstrate their support by bringing John Heitinga into the coaching staff earlier in the week, but another defeat has intensified the situation. He stated that Frank’s role is now at serious risk, describing the atmosphere as tense and uncertain. According to Romano, internal discussions are ongoing and a decision could be made soon, with Frank currently fighting to retain his position.
A similar scenario has previously unfolded when Enzo Maresca and Ruben Amorim departed Chelsea and Manchester United within a short space of time, and a comparable situation could emerge involving Tottenham and Crystal Palace.
Palace manager Oliver Glasner has also faced uncertainty following a public outburst after his side’s defeat to Sunderland. Glasner expressed frustration over a lack of support, pointing to a depleted squad and the sale of the club captain shortly before a Premier League fixture.
With Glasner’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, his future remains unclear. He is reportedly among the leading candidates to succeed Frank should changes occur at both clubs.
