Thomas Frank, the current head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, has made a candid admission about his current role, stating that he is not enjoying the job. Frank, who took over from Ange Postecoglou in June 2025 on a contract until 2028, is facing a challenging period with the team.

Tottenham's recent form has been lackluster, reflected in their 12th position in the Premier League standings. The team's struggles were evident in their recent 0-0 draw against Brentford, which was met with boos from the traveling fans, who also chanted "boring, boring Tottenham". This result is part of a wider trend, with only one win in their last four league games.

Frank acknowledged the difficulties he's encountering, particularly the team's lack of creativity and a series of injuries to key attacking players. He mentioned the absence of players like Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison for the entire season, and Dominic Solanke for a significant portion. These absences have undoubtedly impacted the team's attacking prowess and overall performance.

In discussing the challenges, Frank drew a comparison to running a marathon, specifically enduring a "heavy mile". He admitted that while he doesn't enjoy the tough moments, he understands the need to persevere and keep working hard. He expressed confidence that the team will emerge stronger and wiser from this period of suffering.

Despite the current difficulties, Frank emphasized the privilege he feels to be in charge of Tottenham, particularly during this transitional phase. He views this period as a significant learning experience that will ultimately benefit the club in the future. He understands the frustration of the fans and believes success will change their attitude.

Frank's journey to Tottenham began in June 2025, after a successful stint at Brentford. During his time at Brentford, he transformed the club, guiding them from the Championship to a stable Premier League team. Before Brentford, Frank spent many years coaching in Denmark, including managing various national youth teams.

Looking ahead, Tottenham is set to play Sunderland at home on Sunday. Frank and the team will be aiming to turn their fortunes around and provide a more enjoyable experience for both themselves and the fans.
