Tottenham Hotspur have parted ways with manager Thomas Frank, as reported by The Athletic.
Frank took over last summer, stepping in for Ange Postecoglou, who managed to secure a 17th-place finish while winning the Europa League during his tenure.

Unfortunately, Frank was unable to improve the team’s domestic performance, with Tuesday’s loss to Newcastle United leaving the club just five points above the relegation zone.
Spurs are currently on an eight-match winless streak in the league, marking their longest dry spell in the top flight in over 17 years.
The team’s performance has been lacking, especially at home, where they have managed only 10 points—second fewest in the league.
During his time, Frank secured seven wins out of 26 league matches, resulting in a win rate of 26.9%, the lowest of any Spurs manager with more than 10 games in charge.

Tottenham’s cup campaigns were also disappointing, as they were eliminated from the League Cup in the fourth round by Newcastle and lost to Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup.
However, Frank did lead Spurs into the Champions League knockout stage, which might have given him hope of retaining his position.
Potential successors include Roberto de Zerbi, Enzo Maresca, and Xabi Alonso, all of whom have been dismissed from their previous roles this season.
