Frank took over the reins in north London from Ange Postecoglou and previously led Spurs to a commendable fourth-place finish in the Champions League stage, but his domestic performance has been far from satisfactory, as the team has yet to secure a Premier League win in 2026.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mg-b-15 article-content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tottenham_releases_statement\"><\/span>Tottenham releases statement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"full-width-image mg-t-15 article-content mg-b-25\" displaynav=\"true\" data-v-d04fc069=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/statics.foxsports.com\/www.foxsports.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/0\/0\/GettyImages-2260960600.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1,  https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/statics.foxsports.com\/www.foxsports.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/0\/0\/GettyImages-2260960600.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" loading=\"lazy\"\/> <\/div>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-d04fc069=\"\">The club announced the change in a statement, noting: &#8220;We have decided to part ways with men&#8217;s head coach Thomas Frank, effective today. While we believe he can build our future together, the board determined that a change was essential given the current results and performances. We are grateful for Thomas&#8217;s unwavering commitment and wish him success in his future endeavors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-content mg-b-25\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frank_was_%E2%80%98confident_in_his_position\"><\/span>Frank was &#8216;confident&#8217; in his position.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-d04fc069=\"\">Despite rumors about his dismissal after the defeat to Newcastle, Frank remained confident in his capability to lead the team. He told reporters afterwards that he was certain he would be in charge for the next match, asserting, &#8220;I&#8217;m sure it will happen. It\u2019s easy to point fingers at me, but the situation involves everyone\u2014the owner, the management, the players, and the staff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-d04fc069=\"\">Frank added, &#8220;I am 1,000 percent sure that I am the right person for this job. I never anticipated being in such a tough situation with 10 or 11 players injured. Overcoming these challenges requires immense resilience, and while I know management changes happen, there is significant evidence showing it doesn&#8217;t always solve problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-content mg-b-25\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Franks_disappointing_track_record_at_Spurs\"><\/span>Frank&#8217;s disappointing track record at Spurs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-d04fc069=\"\">Frank, who signed a three-year contract with Tottenham, took over after Postecoglou, who had led the club to its worst-ever Premier League finish at 17th place with 38 points last season, despite securing the Europa League title. Currently, Tottenham faces another poor season in England&#8217;s top division. Frank leaves with an average of just 1.12 points per game (29 goals in 26 matches) as a Premier League manager, the lowest points-per-game record of any Spurs boss who has coached for at least five games.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mg-b-15 article-content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arsenal_set_to_face_Spurs\"><\/span>Arsenal set to face Spurs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"full-width-image mg-t-15 article-content mg-b-25\" displaynav=\"true\" data-v-d04fc069=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/statics.foxsports.com\/www.foxsports.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/0\/0\/GettyImages-2248163443-scaled.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1,  https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/statics.foxsports.com\/www.foxsports.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/0\/0\/GettyImages-2248163443-scaled.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" loading=\"lazy\"\/> <\/div>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-d04fc069=\"\">Tottenham will not play in the Premier League until February 22, providing the club with the opportunity to assess their next steps following Frank&#8217;s exit. Roberto De Zerbi has been mentioned as a potential replacement after leaving Marseille following a heavy 5-0 defeat to PSG.
