Just in: Tottenham make Thomas Frank sack decision before Newcastle with replacement lined up

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank could be just one game away from losing his job after their latest defeat against Manchester United, according to a report from TEAMtalk.

Spurs recently suffered a 2-0 defeat away at Manchester United, and although it wasn't a disastrous result in isolation, it's another poor display during what has been a dismal season. Tottenham currently sit in 15th position in the Premier League table, showing minimal signs of improvement from their 17th-placed finish last term.

Frank has come under heavy criticism this season, which is no surprise considering their performances in the Premier League. The defeat against United was perhaps slightly unfortunate after Cristian Romero was sent off early on, but another poor result could spell the end of his tenure in north London.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Frank's situation at Tottenham is now at 'breaking point', and he could be given just one more game in charge as they prepare to face Newcastle United in the Premier League this week. It's claimed that Spurs are expected to name an interim manager as his replacement if they do give him the boot, with Johnny Heitinga potentially eyed, giving them more time to find a permanent option.

It's claimed that Mauricio Pochettino has been lined up as a possible permanent appointment, but Spurs will have to wait until after the World Cup, with their former manager currently in charge of the USA national team. Pochettino would be open to a return to Spurs in the summer, but he's set to stay in charge of the USA for now.
