Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank describes difficult season as transitional period
Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank has described the current season as a transitional period and admitted he is finding it difficult to enjoy the job due to a lack of creativity within the squad.
The team currently sits 12th in the Premier League and faces Sunderland at home in their next match. Frank likened the ongoing challenge to a marathon, emphasizing the need for sustained effort and experience that will be valued in hindsight.
Fans expressed their frustrations strongly after a 0-0 draw at Brentford, booing the team and chanting "boring, boring Tottenham."
Injuries have heavily impacted the squad. Key players Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison are out for the season. Dominic Solanke, previously sidelined for seven months, has returned to training, while Kulusevski remains unavailable. Xavi Simons will miss the upcoming Sunderland game due to a three-match ban, and Lucas Bergvall is an injury doubt.
The club is also experiencing executive upheaval. Chairman Daniel Levy has departed, and sporting director Fabio Paratici is linked with a move to Fiorentina. Additionally, Manor Solomon terminated his loan at Villarreal early to join Fiorentina on loan.
Tottenham recently sold Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace for £35 million, adding pressure to strengthen the squad during the January transfer window. However, Frank insists any signings will align with the club's long-term goals, balancing immediate needs while securing future ambitions.
