As bad as Tottenham Hotspur performed in Sunday’s North London Derby, Thomas Frank remains secure in his job… for now.
The Dane was appointed as Ange Postecoglou’s successor three weeks on from Spurs’ Europa League final success over Manchester United, which ended the club’s 17-year wait for a piece of major silverware.
Frank, who previously garnered interest from Chelsea and Man Utd, earned the job off the back of a mightily successful spell at Brentford, guiding them into the Premier League in 2021 before consolidating the Bees as a mid-table side in the top-flight.
He took over a team in high spirits from Bilbao and the subsequent celebration, but Spurs’ triumph in Europe papered over their worst-ever Premier League performance, eventually slumping to 17th.
There hasn’t been an expectation for Frank to immediately have Spurs competing towards the very top of the table, but a fanbase seemingly obsessed with style hasn’t been too enamoured with what they’ve seen from their new manager so far.
