Arriving from Brentford having overachieved for therefore lengthy, Spurs followers had been hopeful that he’d have the ability to switch his skillset throughout city. That, nonetheless, was removed from the case.

Issues began nicely, too. The Lilywhites had been 2-0 up towards European champions PSG throughout his first official match in cost and so they regarded way more resolute defensively.

Certainly, Frank’s group saved 5 clear sheets of their subsequent seven matches after that Tremendous Cup defeat. But, it is all unravelled in spectacular trend over latest months.

The Dane leaves north London behind with the worst win share (36%) of any everlasting Spurs supervisor. He additionally departs with the membership sat simply 5 factors away from the relegation zone after failing to win a Premier League sport in 2026. Change merely needed to occur.
