Pressure on Frank had been mounting and Tuesday’s 2-1 home defeat by Newcastle United left his team in 16th place with 29 points from 26 matches and looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone.
“Thomas was appointed in June 2025, and we have been determined to give him the time and support needed to build for the future together,” Spurs said in a statement.
“However, results and performances have led the Board to conclude that a change at this point in the season is necessary.”
Frank, who joined Brentford in 2018 and established them as a top-flight club after gaining promotion, has struggled to replicate those methods at last season’s Europa League winners Tottenham. The writing looked to be on the wall for the 52-year-old after Tuesday’s defeat by Newcastle United, their 11th of the league campaign.
