Tottenham Hotspur’s board held internal crisis talks on Sunday as pressure grows on head coach Thomas Frank ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund.
The meeting followed Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat to West Ham United, a result that intensified tensions within the club. Senior figures reportedly discussed whether Frank should stay in charge for the Dortmund game, with his position now under review.
Spurs have won just once in their last eight matches across all competitions, and Saturday’s defeat felt like a breaking point for sections of the home support. According to the report, Thomas Frank walked off the pitch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” from parts of the stands.
That reaction has fed into the board’s thinking, with club executives now weighing whether sticking with the Dane offers any path to stability, or whether a change is needed to stop the slide before the season drifts further away.
West Ham settled the London Derby with an early goal from Crysencio Summerville and a stoppage-time winner from Callum Wilson. Cristian Romero had levelled for Spurs, only for his side to concede late.
Tottenham’s hierarchy had publicly backed Frank during what they called a transitional season, but patience is running thin. Board talks have reportedly touched on potential replacements, though no names have been formally suggested.
On Tuesday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Dortmund will be hunting for points in Europe, but Spurs will be facing a game that could determine the future of their head coach.
