Tottenham Hotspur sacked head coach Thomas Frank on February 11, 2026, after eight months in charge. The decision followed a poor run of form, including an eight-match winless streak, which left the club in 16th place in the Premier League, five points above the relegation zone. The club cited disappointing results and performances as the reason for the change. Frank, who previously managed Brentford, failed to replicate his success with Tottenham, who were last season's Europa League winners. The final match under Frank was a 2-1 home defeat against Newcastle United, during which fans expressed their dissatisfaction.
