Tottenham Hotspur could part ways with Thomas Frank if they get dragged into the relegation battle.
According to a report from Football Insider, Tottenham have finally made a decision regarding the future of Thomas Frank. While they are willing to back him to turn things around, they have drawn a line. The North London club will sack him if they get involved in the race for survival.
Spurs are currently 14th in the league with just 28 points in their 23 matches. They are 10 points behind fourth-placed Manchester United, and more importantly, they only have an eight point lead over 18th-placed West Ham United.
If the gap shrinks further in the coming weeks, the Tottenham board will be forced to make a decision regarding his future. The North London club brought him to the club with hopes that he could help them build on their recent Europa League triumph.
He had done wonders for Brentford, and his impressive track record in the Premier League was one of the major reasons why Spurs went after his signature. Unfortunately, things haven’t clicked for him at the North London club so far.
Spurs’ stance on Thomas Frank’s future
The club are willing to back him. They still believe he could turn things around and get them back on track. He has the needed experience, and once the players completely understand his ideas, Tottenham could become a serious force in the Premier League.
While they are willing to wait, Spurs have decided they will take a call if things ever get worse in the coming weeks. They are set to face both Manchester clubs, Newcastle and Arsenal in their next four games. It is certainly a very difficult run, and Frank fails to get the desired results in these fixtures. His time at Tottenham could end sooner than expected.
Frank is a very highly rated manager, and he certainly has the quality to lead big teams. However, his Spurs career is certainly under threat. A few more failures could cost him his job at the North London club.
