Thomas Frank Gives Immediate Update on His Future After Newcastle Defeat

Under-fire Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank has delivered an update on his future after his side's defeat against Newcastle United.

Frank, 52, was appointed Spurs boss last summer after an impressive spell in charge of Brentford, replacing Ange Postecoglou.

However, it has been a tough season so far for Frank as his men are being dragged into a potential relegation battle.

On Tuesday night, Spurs were poor once again as Newcastle came away 2-1 winners thanks to goals from Malick Thiaw and Jacob Ramsey. Archie Gray was the scorer for the hosts, who were booed off the pitch after the full time whistle.

As a result, Spurs dropped to 16th place in the Premier League table and are only five points ahead of 18th-placed West Ham United, who drew 1-1 with Manchester United at the London Stadium.

Speaking after the match, Frank was quizzed on his future by the media.

In response, the Dane revealed that he held talks with the Spurs board on Monday, and when asked if he fears for his job, Frank said to TNT Sports: "No. I spoke to them yesterday, so no.

"We understand we are not in a top position and we need to do everything we can to work very hard to get out of."

He added: "I understand the frustration and the easiest thing is to point at me. That’s fair and part of the job, unfortunately.

"I will work day and night to do everything to turn it around but it’s fair to say it’s never only one person. I think it’s fair to say we’ve been in this situation last year. It’s something we need to get through and improve and I’m not in doubt that I’m part of that."

Things are only going to get tougher for Frank and Spurs as they are back in Premier League action next weekend when they take on North London rivals and league leaders Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
