Tottenham Hotspur are considering a change in management, contemplating the replacement of Thomas Frank.
Although the former Brentford manager joined the north London club just this summer, he has yet to demonstrate a significant positive impact reminiscent of Ange Postecoglou’s era.
Executives at Spurs are reportedly questioning the viability of continuing with Frank at the helm.
Tottenham Hotspur Line Up Thomas Frank Replacement
Currently, Spurs have secured only seven wins in 22 Premier League matches under Frank, with six draws and nine losses, positioning them 14th in the standings.
They have also been eliminated from both the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup and find themselves outside the automatic qualification spots for the Champions League.
This dismal performance has prompted key decision-makers at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to reconsider Frank’s future. A potential successor is already in sight. According to reports from a Dutch outlet, John Heitinga, Spurs' assistant manager, is at the forefront of the list of candidates for interim management.
The 42-year-old just joined Frank’s staff last week, but he possesses substantial experience from his time at Ajax, where he was sacked due to poor results earlier this season. Heitinga has also been affiliated with West Ham United and Liverpool, managing one game where he guided Liverpool to a 2-0 victory over Newcastle.
His experience in the Premier League, alongside a robust understanding of the game gained during his time as a player at Everton, positions him as an ideal candidate to fill the void left by Frank’s potential departure.
It is suggested that Heitinga could be the most likely choice to stabilize Spurs during a turbulent period. The recent appointment of Heitinga to the coaching staff may signal trouble ahead for Frank, given their lack of previous connection and Heitinga's extensive experience.
Spurs are facing critical matches against Borussia Dortmund and Burnley this week, which could be decisive for Frank’s prospects.
