The atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has reached a toxic "breaking point." Following a dismal 2-0 defeat to Manchester United over the weekend, reports suggest that Thomas Frank’s tenure as Spurs manager is effectively over.
Frank, who took the reins just last summer, has struggled to find his footing in N17. With the club languishing in 14th place—only six points above the relegation zone—the hierarchy is reportedly ready to pull the trigger.
The Major Development: Insiders claim that an "elite coach" has already given the green light to take over. That name? Mauricio Pochettino. The former Spurs boss is reportedly "unequivocally" ready for a sensational return to North London after his stint with the US National Team.
The Interim Plan: If Frank is sacked this week, backroom coach Johnny Heitinga is the frontrunner to lead the team as an interim manager until the summer.
Deciding Match: Tomorrow's clash against Newcastle is widely seen as Frank's final chance to save his job, though many believe the decision has already been made.
