Thomas Frank reveals what makes him so confident he’ll avoid the sack at Tottenham.
Thomas Frank insists he isn’t worried about his job security at Tottenham Hotspur, even as the club’s poor home form continues to spark frustration among supporters.
Spurs’ current situation mirrors the brief Nuno Espirito Santo era—fans are unhappy with the conservative football, the atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has soured, and results are getting worse. But unlike during Nuno’s time, Daniel Levy is no longer the one making the big decisions, with a new ownership group now in charge.
Frank remains convinced he isn’t close to being dismissed.
Reports suggest the Lewis family has no intention of making a rash decision, viewing Frank’s appointment as part of a long-term project. The manager believes the owners understand the importance of patience and the need to build a sustainable structure rather than chasing quick fixes.
Speaking to Football.London about whether he expects to be given time, Frank said he’s “very confident,” describing the new owners as intelligent people who understand that lasting success can only be built gradually. “You can win quickly, yes,” he added, “but you can’t maintain success without a solid foundation.”
Spurs taking inspiration from Arsenal
Journalist Dean Jones recently claimed that Tottenham want to mirror the way Arsenal backed Mikel Arteta through his early struggles. The Spurs hierarchy is said to be taking the same long-term view with Frank, rather than reacting emotionally to short-term results.
Notably, Tottenham’s current CEO, Vinai Venkatesham, was the same executive who oversaw Arteta’s early years at Arsenal—an example that may well shape how Spurs approach Frank’s future.
