It has been only five months since Son Heung-min (34) left for Los Angeles FC. Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank (53) is in desperate danger. Local reports are pouring in that the team's leaders have already sought a replacement.
Britain's "Sky Sports" reported on the 19th (Korea Standard Time) that "Tottenham's leadership has not yet made a final decision on coach Frank's future, but is already considering a replacement."
According to the media, Tottenham's leadership held emergency talks immediately after the 1-2 defeat against West Ham United on the 18th. Discussions began over whether Frank would remain in office. Tottenham is already reportedly considering a successor to lead the team in the short term in case Frank leaves.
The BBC, a leading British newspaper, also said, "Coach Frank is on the verge of putting down the baton after seven months of taking office," adding, "The club is seriously considering it." An anonymous executive actively expressed his opinion to end the company's accompanying director Frank in recent weeks, he said.
At the moment, the atmosphere surrounding Tottenham is the worst. "The defeat against West Ham made the atmosphere at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium irreversible," Sky Sports said. "There was a clash of fans outside the stadium, and there is even a video on social networking services (SNS) where a fan approaches co-owner Vivian Lewis in the VIP area and expresses her dissatisfaction with coach Frank directly." Even West Ham officials, who were away teams, were shocked by Tottenham's vicious atmosphere.
The fans' patience has run out. During the match against West Ham, fans shouted a humiliating slogan at Frank saying, "I will be replaced tomorrow morning."
First of all, coach Frank is keeping his seat. The British 'Guardian' said, "Despite the uncertainty, coach Frank remained as usual by directing Sunday's training."
However, a strange atmosphere was also detected. The Guardian said, "Tottenham's head coach Jon Hatinga, a former Ajax coach, also led the team instead of Frank during a recent training session. There is a possibility that he will serve as an interim supervisor," he added.
In response to the criticism surrounding him, Frank reportedly demanded time for Tottenham's current rebound. CEO Vinay Venkatesham also sent an open letter to fans just before the match against West Ham, appealing for patience.
But grades are holding back. Tottenham are now down to 14th place in the Premier League. There have been only two wins in the last 13 league games, and only one win if it is narrowed down to the last eight games. The English Football Association (FA) Cup and the English Carabao Cup (League Cup) have already been eliminated.
'BBC' said, "Tottenham has only won seven games in 22 league games this season. He is 11th in the UEFA Champions League, he said. "The upcoming match against Borussia Dortmund will be a watershed for advancing to the round of 16."
