New boss Frank 'in it for the long term' at Spurs

Being Tottenham Hotspur manager has not recently aligned with job security, but new boss Thomas Frank is undaunted by recent history and says he is in it "for the long term".

Speaking in his first news conference since joining in June, Frank joked that, having never been sacked, he took the Spurs job to "get a little bit more risk in his daily life".

While Frank's tone was light-hearted, there is no doubting the demands of the role have proved difficult in the past four years.

They have had four managers since June 2021, with Nuno Espirito Santo lasting just four months, Antonio Conte 16 months and Ange Postecoglou - despite ending the club's 17-year wait for a major trophy by winning the Europa League - two years.
