Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly weighing up a major managerial change, with former Barcelona head coach Xavi emerging as a potential replacement for under-pressure boss Thomas Frank. According to Fichajes, Spurs’ hierarchy are growing increasingly frustrated with the direction of the team as the season progresses.
Frank arrived in north London with a reputation for building cohesive, well-drilled sides capable of punching above their weight. However, Tottenham’s campaign has been marked by inconsistency, with promising performances too often followed by disappointing results. While league position remains salvageable, the lack of a clear identity and fluid attacking style has left sections of the fanbase unconvinced.
The board had hoped Frank would deliver a more competitive and progressive brand of football, aligning with the club’s long-term vision. Instead, questions are now being asked about whether he is the right man to lead Spurs into the next phase of their project.
Xavi’s name inevitably sparks intrigue. The former Barcelona and Spain midfielder brings pedigree, tactical intelligence and experience of managing elite players under intense pressure. His possession-based philosophy could appeal to Tottenham supporters eager for a return to expressive, front-foot football.
While no final decision has been made, the speculation highlights the growing impatience at Spurs. The coming weeks could prove decisive for Frank’s future as Tottenham assess whether change is needed to reignite their season.
