Fabrizio Romano delivers key update on Thomas Frank’s future amid escalating Tottenham discussions.
Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the uncertain future of Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, stating that his position is now “not secure” following Saturday’s damaging 2–1 home defeat to West Ham United. The loss extended Spurs’ winless run to five games across all competitions, with Callum Wilson’s late goal adding to a frustrating evening for the home side.
Fan frustration was evident, with boos reverberating through the stadium and chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” coming from the South Stand, reflecting the mounting pressure on Frank in North London.
Tottenham now face a critical period, with a crucial UEFA Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund set for Tuesday. Although the Lewis family and the board had previously expressed support for Frank, Saturday’s setback reportedly sparked fresh internal discussions about his future.
According to GIVEMESPORT, closed-door talks have already taken place — a point Romano emphasized in his YouTube update on Sunday. While Spurs had attempted to show backing for Frank by adding John Heitinga to the coaching staff earlier in the week, the latest defeat has intensified concerns over the Dane’s job security. Romano described the atmosphere at the club as tense and unstable, noting that a decision could come soon, leaving Frank fighting to keep his position.
Similar managerial upheavals have occurred recently elsewhere, with Enzo Maresca and Ruben Amorim departing Chelsea and Manchester United in quick succession. Tottenham could face a comparable situation, potentially involving Crystal Palace.
Palace manager Oliver Glasner is also under pressure after publicly criticizing his club following their loss to Sunderland, highlighting frustration over limited support, a thin squad, and the sale of his captain just before the match. With Glasner’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, his future is uncertain, and he is reportedly among the top candidates to replace Frank should Tottenham make a change.
