Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank speaking at a press conference about the sacking of Ruben Amorim:
“The most common reason for the head coach is either stopping or getting sacked is just another example, from my point of view, that it’s very difficult to achieve sustainable success if you change key personnel in clubs, like the head coach, like the sport directors.
“I think if you think you have the right ones, and you’re aligned, you have to do it over a long time. It’s two clubs with [managers in post for] one and a half years. I’m not judging it, it’s just the facts in that sense, there could be many reasons for it – I just don’t know.
“In this fantastic beautiful football world, you win one day and play well, you’re in heaven. You lose and don’t play that well, you’re in hell.
“The best clubs, they’re aligned – ownership, leadership, head coach – over time, and you keep the noise out and you look at the progress behind it, it goes up and down and hopefully over time more and more up. And you achieve something big together.
“The three biggest latest examples of that of course are City, Liverpool and Arsenal.”
