Overview
- Tottenham dismissed Thomas Frank after a 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle, a result that extended their Premier League winless run to eight.
- Frank leaves with Spurs 16th in the table and five points clear of the drop zone, increasing pressure on the club’s leadership and recruitment strategy.
- Former head coach Ange Postecoglou publicly criticised Tottenham’s wage and transfer approach, calling the club a “curious” operation lacking clear objectives following Daniel Levy’s exit.
- Postecoglou said Spurs blocked moves for Pedro Neto, Bryan Mbeumo, Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guéhi, arguing he needed Premier League‑ready signings to push on from fifth.
- A managerial search is under way, with reports linking Mauricio Pochettino, Roberto De Zerbi and Andoni Iraola to the vacancy, and an interim option such as Ryan Mason considered likely.
