"Thomas Frank has been sacked by Tottenham after just under eight months in charge following a dismal 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle on Tuesday. Spurs are 16th in the Premier League and just five points above the relegation zone after a dreadful run of form. The North London side are winless in their past eight Premier League games - their longest run without a victory since October 2008."
"Frank took over as head coach in June after Ange Postecoglou was sacked and signed a deal until 2028, but proved unable to notably improve the club's league form despite strong results in European competition. Against a mixed Premier League record of seven wins, eight draws and 11 defeats this season, the Dane led Spurs to automatic qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League by finishing fourth in the group stage."
"After being booed off at half-time while 2-0 down to Manchester City, Frank's side responded to draw 2-2 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Captain Cristian Romero was critical of Tottenham's board after that result, calling it "disgraceful" that the club only had 11 fit senior players available against City. The Argentine then received a straight red card - his second of the season - against Manchester United on 7 February, who went on to win 2-0."

Spurs have gone eight Premier League matches without a win, their longest winless run since October 2008, and have taken just 12 points from their last 17 league games. Frank had been appointed in June on a contract until 2028 but failed to improve league form despite strong European results. Spurs qualified for the Champions League last 16 but exited both domestic cups and endured hostile reactions from supporters.
