Manager Under Pressure at Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly weighing the dismissal of Danish coach Thomas Frank amid a troubling run of results, according to a British report published today.

BBC Sport notes that the club is considering ending Frank's contract, which has lasted seven months.

Frank has endured a disappointingly slow start since taking over last summer.

At least one member of Tottenham's executive team has floated the option of ending Frank's tenure in recent weeks, the piece adds.

While Tottenham has backed Frank to date despite the season's struggles, a home defeat to West Ham on Saturday left his position in doubt.

The defeat dropped Spurs to 14th in the Premier League, with seven wins from 22 matches this season.

Tottenham have only one win in their last eight matches and were knocked out of the domestic cup.

Frank took charge in June following the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou.

The Spurs sit 11th in the Champions League standings and will face Borussia Dortmund this week.

Punchline 1: If Tottenham keep chasing wins this season, the trophy shelf might need an extension.

Punchline 2: And yes, the club's press conferences have become the most entertaining fixture on the calendar.
