EPL: Tottenham Hotspur Sack Thomas Frank as Manager

Tottenham Hotspur have parted ways with head coach Thomas Frank after less than eight months in charge, according to Sky Sports. The decision comes just a day after Spurs suffered a 2–1 home defeat to Newcastle United — a result that further deepened the club’s struggles this season. The North London side currently sit 16th on the Premier League table, only five points above the relegation zone, raising serious concerns about their top-flight status. Tottenham have managed just two wins in their last 17 league matches, a run of form that ultimately sealed Frank’s fate. During his brief spell at the club, the Danish manager won only 13 of his 38 matches in charge. The loss to Newcastle also left him with the lowest Premier League win percentage of any Spurs manager in the competition’s history — just 26.9 per cent. The club is now expected to move swiftly in appointing a replacement as they look to steer their season back on track and avoid being dragged deeper into a relegation battle. Further updates on Tottenham’s next managerial appointment are expected in the coming days.

Tottenham Lines Up £68m Move for Eberechi Eze

Tottenham are turning their attention to Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze as Thomas Frank looks to make a statement signing this summer. Eze, who is believed to have a £68m release clause, guided Crystal Palace to the first piece of major silverware in the club’s history last season, scoring in the FA Cup final as Oliver Glasner’s side upset Manchester City at Wembley in May. Eze’s release clause has attracted a number of potential suitors, including long-term admirers Tottenham, to the 26-year-old’s availability, and the lure of Champions League football at Spurs could be enough to convince Eze to join, with Palace still unsure whether they’ll be granted access to the Europa League following their FA Cup win. Tottenham looked at Eze last summer but never submitted a firm bid according to Palace chairman Steve Parish. They now, however, look set to return for the England international, with Frank keen to make a statement of intent after arriving from Brentford.
