Thomas Frank Clings to His Position and the Board Trusts Him.
The Danish coach claims to have the confidence of the club's management and that his future is secure
Thomas Frank clings to his position
The Danish manager of Tottenham Hotspur has faced intense criticism and scrutiny following a string of defeats, draws, and errors. Spurs fans were calling for his resignation after the most recent loss to West Ham.
Frank claims to have the confidence of the board despite the setbacks he has encountered since taking over from UEFA Europa League-winning manager Ange Postecoglou with the same team last season.
Confidence in Thomas Frank
The Dane claims to have had lunch with the club’s executives, who assured him that his job was secure, at least for the immediate future.
“I’ve said that at every press conference… that there’s backing and support. I had lunch with Nick, Vinai, and Johan today, so everything’s fine. I know it’s part of the media circus. My only focus is on doing everything I can to make sure we win against Dortmund,” said the Tottenham manager at the pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Borussia Dortmund.
He added that the type of relationship he has with the leadership is a clear indicator of a bright and prosperous future: “I just think it’s an extremely good sign because normally people run for the hills if there’s bad news or bad weather on the horizon.” “Normally, they don’t come and aren’t friendly during lunch,” Thomas Frank said.
Thomas Frank's immediate problem
In the match against Borussia Dortmund, Thomas Frank only has 11 players fit to play, but of those physically fit, there are 3 who might not be able to finish the 90 minutes. This is undoubtedly a dilemma that will test the Danish coach's ability and astuteness in this crucial match for Tottenham and his future as manager.
