Thomas Frank outlines the reasons behind his confidence he won’t be sacked by Tottenham.
Thomas Frank says he has no concerns about his future at Tottenham Hotspur despite the club’s ongoing struggles at home and growing frustration from the fanbase.
Spurs’ current problems resemble the short-lived Nuno Espirito Santo era—supporters are unhappy with the cautious style of play, the mood at the stadium has dipped, and results continue to decline. However, unlike Nuno’s spell, Daniel Levy is no longer the main decision-maker, with the club now under new ownership.
Frank is adamant he isn’t close to being sacked.
Reports indicate the Lewis family has no plans to act hastily, viewing Frank as a long-term appointment. The manager believes the owners value patience and are focused on building a proper structure rather than chasing instant success.
When speaking to Football.London about whether he expects time to implement his ideas, Frank said he felt “very confident,” praising the new owners as smart people who know that sustained success requires a solid base. “You can win quickly,” he said, “but you can’t keep winning without foundations.”
Spurs looking to follow Arsenal’s blueprint
Journalist Dean Jones recently suggested that Tottenham are trying to emulate Arsenal’s backing of Mikel Arteta during his early setbacks. The club’s hierarchy is reportedly adopting the same long-term mindset with Frank instead of reacting to short-term dips in form.
Significantly, Spurs CEO Vinai Venkatesham is the same figure who helped guide Arteta’s early years at Arsenal—something that may influence how Tottenham handle Frank’s tenure.
