Tottenham Hotspur make decision on Thomas Frank’s future after Nottingham Forest humiliation

Tottenham Hotspur suffered a disappointing 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest on Sunday at the City Ground. 

Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario endured a nightmare game as his mistakes allowed Callum Hudson-Odoi to score a brace before Ibrahim Sangare’s stunner secured a comfortable victory for Forest. 

The defeat has brought scrutiny on manager Thomas Frank, who has overseen a poor start to the season since coming into the role in June. 

BBC Sport journalist Sami Mokbel reports the Danish boss faces internal doubts at Tottenham but the club are unlikely to make a knee-jerk reaction in response to Sunday’s defeat. 

Frank’s position as Spurs’ manager doesn’t appear to be under any immediate threat, and the club are yet to reach a point during the season where they have given serious consideration to dismissing him. 

The Dane has recorded 10 wins and eight losses from 25 games in charge. 

His future at Tottenham looked in doubt when the team suffered three straight defeats in November. 

But they then bounced back with two wins and a draw from their next three fixtures to ease the pressure on Frank. 

The Lilywhites were expected to continue their good form against a Forest team that were well beaten by Everton in their last outing. 

However, they produced a dismal display at the City Ground and deserved nothing from the match. 

Apart from Vicario, Richarlison, Mohammed Kudus and Pedro Porro also had a game to forget as they failed to contribute offensively as well as defensively.
