Cristian Romero has raised eyebrows after failing to acknowledge Thomas Frank’s<\/a> departure from Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur on social media – unlike some of his teammates. The Argentinian centre\u2011back, who publicly thanked Ange Postecoglou<\/a> when he left the club, did not post any message to the Dane following his dismissal.<\/p>\n

Frank was sacked earlier this month, with Spurs sitting 16th in the Premier League and winless in eight matches. The 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United proved to be the final straw.<\/a><\/p>\n

Only a handful of players – Richarlison<\/a>, Joao Palhinha and Pedro Porro, shared farewell messages on social media<\/a>. Captain Romero opted to stay quiet on this occasion, even though he shared a long farewell message when Postecoglou departed the club last year.<\/p>\n

At the time, Romero wrote: “Ange, thank you for these two incredible seasons. You’re a fantastic coach, but above all, a great person who deserves the best.<\/p>\n

“From day one you paved the way despite the many obstacles that always existed and always will exist.<\/p>\n

“Beyond everything, we won a trophy and went down in the history of this beautiful club, which is the only thing that matters.<\/p>\n

“I wish you the best because you deserve the best, and thank you for everything.”<\/p>\n

The Frank snub speaks volumes, and it highlights a broader issue inside the dressing room: a squad that needs pulling together again. Which leaves interim head coach Igor Tudor with an immediate challenge.<\/p>\n

Over the next few weeks, he must work to bring players back onside and restore a sense of unity at a time when every point matters in their Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n

Spurs sit just three points above the relegation zone, and Tudor’s first game in charge could hardly be tougher.<\/p>\n

His debut comes in the north London derby against Arsenal on Sunday (4:30pm), a fixture that will test both the team and his ability to steady a squad clearly short on confidence.<\/p>\n
