Frank's job at Tottenham is precarious, but for now, he doesn't need to worry – yet. The Dane's managerial career has drawn stark comparisons to that of his predecessor Nuno Espírito Santo. When Nuno joined Spurs in 2021, there was hope that the Portuguese would bring a winning mentality to the struggling club. However, it wasn't meant to be.
Frank and Nuno share similar backstories – both were promoted from the Championship with Wolves and Brentford respectively, respectively, before taking the reins at Tottenham. Both started brightly, but eventually succumbed to dismal defeats against top-four teams Chelsea and Arsenal. The lack of creativity and pace in their games was a major concern for Spurs fans.
The two managers differ in terms of resources available – Harry Kane and Son Heung-min were an attacking force under Nuno, while Frank has had to contend with injuries and a lack of quality in certain areas like the striking department. However, one similarity stands out: both managers have been accused of being overly defensive.
When Spurs return to action against West Ham on Saturday, fans will be watching closely for signs of improvement from Frank's team. The Dane has taken steps to address concerns about the team's lack of creativity and pressing game. A new signing in Conor Gallagher is one positive sign, while Dominic Solanke's imminent return from injury could provide much-needed firepower up front.
Despite a dip in form that has relegated Spurs to 15th place, Frank remains happy with the progress he has made in terms of defensive solidity and set pieces. The hierarchy at Tottenham appears supportive of the manager, with recent signings and appointments suggesting a long-term vision for the club.
While Nuno's tenure was marked by frustration and an inability to connect with fans, Frank doesn't appear to be facing the same challenges – yet. However, Spurs' poor home form, particularly in terms of wins, raises concerns about whether Frank can avoid following in Nuno's footsteps.

. I think Spurs fans are gonna be keeping a close eye on Frank's tactics against West Ham, especially considering how poorly they've been performing at home lately 
. Can he get them back to winning ways? Only time will tell 
. The team needs to step up their creative game and press more effectively or they'll get left behind 
. But hey, at least Conor Gallagher is on board, that's a positive 
!
and their passing game is so dull . but at the same time, i can see why the hierarchy would want to give him time - they did too with nuno...frank has been making some good signings and it's true that defence has been solid, so fingers crossed he can get the attack going too 
. it'll be interesting to see how he adapts to the home form struggles... Spurs need someone who can turn it around
