Cristian Romero delivers a ruthless snub to Thomas Frank as Igor Tudor uncovers a major problem at Tottenham.
Cristian Romero has sparked discussion after choosing not to publicly acknowledge Thomas Frank’s exit from Tottenham Hotspur on social media, in contrast to several of his teammates. The Argentine defender, who posted a heartfelt tribute to Ange Postecoglou following his departure last year, remained silent after Frank was dismissed.
Frank was relieved of his duties earlier this month with Spurs sitting 16th in the Premier League and without a win in eight matches. A 2-1 loss to Newcastle United ultimately sealed his fate.
Only a few players — Richarlison, Joao Palhinha and Pedro Porro — shared farewell messages for the Danish coach. Romero, however, did not issue any statement, despite previously writing an emotional message when Postecoglou left the club.
At the time, Romero praised Postecoglou for guiding the team through challenges and helping deliver silverware, expressing gratitude for both his leadership and character.
Romero’s silence regarding Frank has drawn attention and underlines a wider concern within the dressing room — a squad in need of renewed unity. This presents an immediate task for interim head coach Igor Tudor.
With Spurs just three points above the relegation zone, Tudor faces mounting pressure to rally the team and rebuild confidence during a crucial phase of the Premier League season.
His first match in charge will be a daunting one: the north London derby against Arsenal on Sunday at 4:30pm — a high-stakes encounter that will test both the players and their new manager at a pivotal moment.
