According to reports, a Tottenham Hotspur chief has ‘demanded’ head coach Thomas Frank to be sacked after the 3-2 loss against AFC Bournemouth.
Spurs are on a dire run of form under Frank, with the Premier League side only winning three of their previous 13 matches in all competitions.
The north London outfit are currently three games without a win in the Premier League and suffered a late 3-2 loss against Bournemouth on Wednesday. The Cherries were on a ten-match winless run heading into the game.
This leaves Frank as one of two leading contenders to be the next Premier League manager sacked, with Tottenham performing no better currently than they were under Ange Postecoglou. They are 14th in the table after 21 matches.
Performances have been poor, but another of Frank‘s issues is that his approach to football has not clicked with supporters, who have demanded more excitement.
