Tottenham Hotspur need to sack Thomas Frank immediately and bring in Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, who is reportedly a ‘serious contender’.
Tottenham made it just one win in their last five Premier League games after drawing at home to Sunderland on Sunday afternoon. Spurs have now produced two disappointing performances in a row, creating very little across their games against Brentford and Sunderland.
The north London club now sit in 13th position in the Premier League table, and their season is in danger of petering out. The board might look to back Frank in the January transfer window to give him the best chance of turning things around, but they should be making a more drastic decision than that if they want to head in the right direction.
Tottenham Need to Bring in Oliver Glasner ASAP
It’s time for Tottenham to make a change after what we’ve seen from Frank so far this season. If Spurs want to rescue their campaign, they need to go all out and hire Oliver Glasner, who is out of contract in the summer.
Reports have claimed that Glasner is a ‘serious contender’ for the role if Tottenham do opt to make a change in the dugout any time soon. The Crystal Palace boss, described as a ‘world-class’ manager, has done a phenomenal job with the Eagles, and is arguably the best coach in their history, delivering two trophies in 2025. The Austrian has worked wonders on multiple occasions with squads that are worse than Tottenham’s, and he would certainly be an upgrade on Frank.

With Glasner out of contract in the summer, he could be easily attainable for Tottenham. Palace might not want to lose him, of course, but it’s looking like he could be heading through the exit door in the coming months anyway.

Glasner has voiced his frustrations with Palace due to the lack of investment since he took over the club, which might make the Spurs job attractive. Although the north London outfit aren’t the biggest spenders in the Premier League, they certainly like to splash the cash more than Palace, and he could be keen to work with the current crop of Spurs players, who are better than what they are currently showing under the guidance of Frank.
