Tottenham Hotspur sacked head coach Thomas Frank on February 11, 2026. The decision followed the team’s 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle United on February 10, 2026. Frank leaves the club 16th in the Premier League table, five points above the relegation zone.
Tottenham lost 2-1 at home to Newcastle in the Premier League match. Fans booed Frank during the game and chanted for his dismissal. The result extended the team’s winless run in the league to eight matches. Spurs have won only two of their last 17 Premier League games.
Tottenham appointed Thomas Frank in June 2025. He replaced Ange Postecoglou on a contract until 2028. Frank previously managed Brentford for seven years. The club gave him time and support to build the team. However, domestic results remained poor despite stronger performances in European competition.
Spurs secured fourth place in their Champions League group phase under Frank. In contrast, the team struggled in the Premier League. They collected only 12 points from their last 17 matches. The club suffered early exits in both domestic cups. Fans expressed growing dissatisfaction after recent losses, including defeats to West Ham, Burnley, and Manchester United.
Tottenham confirmed Frank’s sacking on Wednesday morning. A club statement explained that recent results made a change necessary. Officials noted their initial determination to support Frank but decided a shift was required. The club began exploring contingency plans for a replacement. This marks the sixth permanent manager in seven years for Tottenham.
The sacking leaves Tottenham in a precarious position ahead of upcoming fixtures. The team faces a fight to avoid relegation with the season ongoing. Frank’s departure comes just before key matches, including the North London Derby. The club now searches for a new head coach to stabilize performance.
