Tottenham Hotspur have sacked head coach Thomas Frank after less than eight months in charge following a 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle on Tuesday which left them just five points above the Premier League relegation zone.
The North London side are 16th in the table and without a win in their past eight Premier League games — their worst such run since October 2008.
Spurs have won just two of their past 17 league matches and collected only 12 points in that time.
