Thomas Frank is under significant pressure at Tottenham and appears quite close to being sacked and rightly so!
Spurs are in 14th place in the Premier League, just six points above the relegation zone, following a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United (their latest result referenced in reports from February 7-8, 2026).
They are winless in seven league matches in 2026 and have struggled badly overall, with Frank holding the lowest points-per-game record of any modern-era manager at a ‘Big Six’ club (around 1.16 PPG after a poor run).
Fans have booed him, chanted “you’re getting sacked in the morning,” and have turned against him during recent home games.
Media reports describe an “absolute nightmare” situation, renewed calls for his sacking, and insiders suggesting poor results could lead to his dismissal soon, possibly with an interim appointment.
Betting odds list him as the clear favourite to be the next Premier League manager sacked (e.g., 5/4 or 23/20 in various markets, implying around 40-44% probability), ahead of others like Arne Slot or Oliver Glasner.
Some reports note internal discussions at Spurs about his future, though a recent appointment of another ex-Brentford staff member suggests the board might still back him short-term. However, player backing, e.g., still “playing for him” in some games, and a brief unbeaten run in all competitions earlier in February, slightly eased pressure, but as recent defeats have ramped it up again.
Interestingly, Brentford (now managed by Keith Andrews, their former set-piece coach) are thriving without him: sitting 7th in the table with 39 points after 25 games (level with Liverpool on points in some updates), safe from relegation, and pushing for Europe—despite losing key players like Mbeumo and Wissa. This contrast has fueled fan frustration and memes on X about Spurs’ decision to appoint him.
Overall, Frank is very much in the hot seat and one of the most vulnerable managers in the league right now. A poor result in their next fixture could tip things over the edge, though Tottenham’s board has hesitated so far despite the mounting scrutiny.
