Tottenham is a club rich in tradition, which unfortunately also has the tradition of choosing managers who lose confidence and are fired over the course of 1-2 seasons. Thomas Frank has been in charge of Spurs since the summer, but understands he is not in a position to survive a season in this job, if he continues to lose like he did against West Ham at the weekend. On Sunday, there was reportedly a crisis meeting at Tottenham, now a Spanish legend is linked to the job.
According to The Independent , the board called a meeting on Sunday to discuss the situation. This will be the second time in a few weeks that Franks Frank’s position has been discussed internally. According to the media, the board was divided after Tottenham’s FA Cup exit against Aston Villa the week before.

The management reminds themselves that after a number of years at Brentford, Frank has had to adapt to a much bigger club, where things have not exactly gone smoothly in recent years, while a number of attacking profiles are out. Therefore, the starting point has been to give the Dane a “longer bond”, but some fear that at this point in time, it has come so far that it is too late to correct.
After losing to bottom contenders West Ham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs stand with 27 points from 22 games and 14th in the Premier League.
Now to the Spanish legend. Blekka Fichajes claims Tottenham have signalled they are willing to bet high on the next head coach. The newly appointed John Heitinga would be an obvious choice to take over as interim coach, according to the Spanish media, the Tottenham management is leaning towards bringing Barcelona icon Xavi to the Premier League.
The former Barcelona coach has used his free time to learn better English and is open to entering the stage at the world’s toughest club.
