Frank insists Spurs hierarchy ‘completely aligned’ about future

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank reacts on the touchline.

Under-pressure Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has insisted the key figures at the club are “completely aligned” about the future and hailed the importance of “calm” chief executive Vinai Venkatesham.

Frank was already under scrutiny after a difficult start at Spurs, but the shock departures this month of Enzo Maresca and Ruben Amorim at Chelsea and Manchester United respectively will place a magnified lens on the work of the Danish coach.
