For Thomas Frank, the coach of Tottenham, the failure with Manchester United (0-2) was the 7th game in a row without a win.
The Spurs manager has the lowest percentage of points per game and the lowest percentage of wins of all “Big Six” Premier League head coaches with 10 or more games under his belt in English football's elite division.
Thomas Frank, 29 points in 25 games
“The Big Six” is an informal term used to describe a group of six clubs in the Premier League: Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, and among the technicians who passed through these giants, the “interims” are excluded.
From the 25 matches played in this Premier season, Frank scored only 29 points. The failure with Manchester United is the seventh game in a row without a win for the Danish technician. He has one win in 10 games and just two in 16 games.
Thomas Frank, weaker than predecessor Ange Postecoglou and than Ruben Amorim
After predecessor Ange Postecoglou managed just a 17th place finish last season, Frank is actually doing worse than the Australian coach overall.
The latter had finished fifth in his first year in charge at Tottenham but slumped after a bright start. However, it should be noted that Postecoglou and Frank faced numerous injuries.
The Dane is even weaker than Ruben Amorim, the Portuguese technician sacked by Manchester United on January 5, 2026. Frank averages 1.16 points per game, while Amorim managed 1.23 points/game.
Thomas Frank called on Radu Drăgușin in the 32nd minute of the match against Manchester United
Against Manchester United, he introduced Radu Drăgușin in the 32nd minute, instead of Odobert. The change was forced when Argentina's Romero was sent off after a hard foul on Casemiro.
Down a man from the 29th minute, Spurs were no match for United, who created constant danger at Vicario's goal. Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes scored the goals for the “devils”. Drăgușin made some good tackles in his own box and received the same grade as fellow central defender Mickey Van de Ven in the Football London daily: 6.
