Thomas Frank: Under-pressure Tottenham boss says ‘magic’ Borussia Dortmund win shows ‘we’re on same page’

Despite a turbulent week, in which his future was in serious doubt amid talks with the club’s hierarchy over lunch on Monday, Frank bounced back on Tuesday night as Spurs fans cheered off their team for the first time in 2026 following a five-game winless start to the new year.
“That energy between the fans and the players was magic,” he said at his post-match press conference.
Asked if this performance proved he was worth sticking with, Frank smiled: “I think it’s about the team and everything, but of course I understand the question.
“What I feel the whole time is the staff is with us, I think the players are with us, the ownership, everyone wants the same thing and we’re on the same page.
“We do a lot of things in the right direction and today was a big performance and a big win. Of course, I’m very aware of that, but I’m also very aware that this we have done and we need to keep that consistency and turn that a little bit.
