Tottenham sack their manager again, and bring in Xavi to take over?

A string of poor results has forced Tottenham's management to reconsider their strategic direction.

The heavy 0-3 defeat against Nottingham Forest in the 16th round of the Premier League was seen as the final straw, plunging the North London team into a real crisis both professionally and mentally.

Currently sitting 11th in the Premier League table, Tottenham are increasingly drifting away from European qualification spots, a goal considered the minimum before the season began. Not only have their results been disappointing, but their playing style has also been unconvincing, disjointed, and lacking a clear tactical imprint. This has led to a gradual depletion of patience from both the club's management and the fans.

In this context, Thomas Frank became the target of criticism. Despite being expected to bring stability and a distinct personality, the Danish manager has yet to build a team with a clear identity. Tottenham frequently lags behind direct competitors, lacks ideas in controlling the game, and appears vulnerable under pressure.

Facing the risk of the project going off track, Xavi unexpectedly emerged as a potential replacement. The Spanish strategist is a free agent after his time managing Barcelona and is highly regarded for his philosophy of ball control, tight organization, and ability to build a long-term identity. Tottenham's leadership believes that Xavi can bring order and clear direction, something the team is severely lacking.

The appointment of Xavi, if it happens, would not be a short-term solution but a strategic move aimed at a complete rebuild. With increasing pressure and an increasingly close league table, Tottenham faces a crucial decision that could shape the club's future for the coming seasons.
