An experienced coach has reacted angrily to claims that Thomas Frank’s position at Tottenham Hotspur is under threat.
Several pundits have raised serious question marks over Frank’s fit for Tottenham, criticising the Dane’s negative tactics.
The 52-year-old has been making a lot of changes to his starting eleven and formation over recent weeks, and some reports indicate that the Tottenham players are frustrated by Frank’s tinkering.
Some sources have even claimed Spurs have already started eyeing potential replacements for the former Brentford boss, but one pundit feels that is ridiculous.
Coach says Thomas Frank is doing best with the resources at Tottenham
Danish coach Glen Riddersholm, who has managed Denmark U17s, FC Midtjylland and served as an assistant coach at Norwich City, has blasted suggestions that Frank should fear for his job.
He claimed that the 52-year-old has done an ‘excellent’ job at N17, claiming that Spurs’ struggles are down to the shortcomings of their squad.
Riddersholm told Tipsbladet (as relayed by Sport Witness): “I think it is completely ridiculous that Thomas Frank should fear for his job. I think he is doing a fantastic job.
“Everyone who is close to Tottenham and follows it from a distance knows that what he has done so far has been excellent. You can only play with the cards you are dealt, and I think there are obvious shortcomings in the squad he is coaching.”
Frank is confident he will get time at Spurs
Reports have indicated that the Tottenham board will not take any hasty decisions on Frank, and they view it as a long-term project.
It was even claimed by journalist Dean Jones that Spurs are planning to show the kind of faith in Frank that Arsenal did in Mikel Arteta during his early struggles.
Last week, the Tottenham boss said that he is confident that the Lewis family will give him time to turn things around, insisting that the club’s owners recognise that it takes time to build a successful dynasty.
