Head coach Thomas Frank says <\/b>Tottenham<\/b><\/a> are “completely aligned” about the future as he faces pressure from fans to improve results.<\/b><\/p>\n

Frank has declared that the club are united behind the scenes, saying that chief executive Vinai Venkatesham makes “sensible decisions” and is “is one of the best communicators I ever met”.<\/p>\n

Spurs were booed off<\/a> after Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Sunderland<\/a>, and have won two of their past 11 Premier League games.<\/p>\n

In the past week, Enzo Maresca has left Chelsea<\/a> and Manchester United<\/a> have sacked Ruben Amorim – with both head coaches departing amid fallouts with senior figures at their respective clubs.<\/p>\n

But Frank says he has no such issues with Tottenham<\/a>‘s hierarchy.<\/p>\n

“I think the biggest thing is that we are completely aligned with the ownership,” Frank said.<\/p>\n

“Vinai is one of the best communicators I ever met, as a CEO, leader or whatever, he is absolutely excellent in that.<\/p>\n

“I think I’m OK, but he is way superior, which I think is crucial internally and externally.<\/p>\n

“He’s calm and he takes sensible decisions – two rare abilities in football. He understands the journey we’re on.”<\/p>\n

Tottenham<\/a>, who visit Bournemouth<\/a> on Wednesday, are in a congested mid-table, sitting 13th in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

They are unbeaten in their past three matches, but have not scored from open play since 6 December.<\/p>\n

Sporting director Fabio Paratici has continuously been linked with a move back to Italy with Fiorentina during recent weeks, but remains in place at Spurs.<\/p>\n

Frank said: “We’re paying his wage, he’s working very hard.<\/p>\n

“The last time I spoke to him? I spoke to him in the morning before the [Sunderland<\/a>] game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Head coach Thomas Frank says Tottenham are “completely aligned” about the future as he faces pressure from fans…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":498489,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-498488","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115852868450640107","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/498488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=498488"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/498488\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/498489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=498488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=498488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=498488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
