, the Danish football manager, has been sacked as head coach of Tottenham Hotspur on February 11, 2026, following an eight-game winless run in the Premier League. He was appointed in June 2025, succeeding Ange Postecoglou, and had previously led Brentford to promotion to the Premier League and established them as a consistent top-half side on a tight budget.

Despite guiding Spurs to a fourth-place finish in the Champions League group stage, the team's poor domestic form—11 league defeats and a 16th-place ranking—led to mounting pressure. The final catalyst was a 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle United, which triggered boos from fans and chants calling for his removal. Tottenham’s board concluded that a change was necessary to avoid a potential relegation battle.

Frank, who was 52 at the time of his dismissal, had a strong record at Brentford (2018–2025), including promotion to the Premier League and multiple top-10 finishes. His tenure at Tottenham lasted just eight months. The club is now searching for a permanent replacement, with Mauricio Pochettino among the leading favorites, while an interim manager may be appointed ahead of the upcoming north London derby against Arsenal.
