Thomas Frank’s tenure at Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly coming to an end.
Renowned sports correspondent David Ornstein has indicated that Frank's sacking is a question of 'when' rather than 'if'.
While Frank is likely to manage the upcoming Champions League fixture against Borussia Dortmund, it appears he will need an extraordinary performance to retain his position.
Future of Tottenham: Potential Replacements for Thomas Frank
Assistant coach John Heitinga has emerged as a frontrunner to take over on an interim basis, given his extensive experience in the Premier League and past managerial success with Ajax.
However, Spurs management is exploring options for a more prominent figure as a permanent replacement. Reports suggest they are considering a move for former Barcelona coach Xavi.
Xavi is currently a free agent after leaving Camp Nou in 2024, and Tottenham is reportedly monitoring his situation closely, particularly as Manchester United also seeks a new manager.
Spurs may have a competitive advantage in courting Xavi, with his desire for Premier League experience—he has even been learning English in preparation.
Another name in the mix is former Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso, though he may be eyeing brighter prospects in the longer term.
Despite Frank's struggles, any manager who has thrived under Barcelona's intense pressure is likely to be a strong candidate, though whether he views Spurs as the right fit remains uncertain.
