Tottenham manager Thomas Frank (53) is expected to eventually pack his bags.
Tottenham, led by head coach Frank, drew 2-2 against Burnley in the 23rd round of the "2025-2026 English Premier League (EPL) at Turf Moor Stadium in Burnley, England on the 25th (Korea time).
Tottenham, which has been mired in five league games (three draws and two losses) since the new year, has ranked 14th with 28 points (7 wins, seven draws and nine losses).
On the same day, Tottenham secured a draw with the two center backs scoring goals side by side while the strikers' scoring shots were silent.
Tottenham, led by Mickey van der Pen's first goal in the 38th minute of the first half, allowed Axel Tuangzev to equalize in the extra time of the first half. Then, in the 31st minute of the second half, Lyle Foster even allowed a comeback goal, and the defeat was heavy. However, Christian Romero took a breather when he equalized in the 45th minute of the second half.
After the game, Frank applauded the away fans. But the reaction was cold. Fans complained to coach Frank by chanting, 'You're going to be fired tomorrow morning.'
The local media is also cold. FourFourTwo, which specializes in soccer, pointed out Frank's replacement as "a matter of when, not if." With this draw, the break-up between the club and the manager seems to have become a fact.
Local betting companies are already seeing their dividend rates fluctuate for the "Tottenham's next head coach." One of the strongest candidates has emerged is former England manager Gareth Southgate. In addition, big names such as Xavi Hernandez and Xavi Alonso are also featured.
There is a realistic reason why Southgate is considered a viable alternative: "I can put it in immediately." As he is currently unemployed (FA), he can join Tottenham, which is in crisis, and take the helm. The experience of leading the England national team for a long time and managing star players is also considered suitable as a "firefighter" to deal with the chaotic locker room.
However, fans' reactions are also mixed. He agrees with Frank's replacement, but he seems to be reluctant to the fact that his successor is Southgate. This is due to Southgate's overly conservative and defensive tactical tendencies. Some Tottenham fans shouted "No Southgate," saying, "It's right that Frank should leave, but it's definitely not Southgate."
