Tottenham Hotspur have opted to part company with their Danish manager Thomas Frank, after just eight months in charge, according to The Athletic reporter David Ornstein.

The decision comes after a 2-1 loss to Newcastle United, that left Spurs deep in relegation trouble, 14th place and just 5 points clear of the drop zone.
Former Brentford manager Frank was appointed to replace Ange Postecoglu in the summer, on the back of a successful spell with the Bees.
While Postecoglu also flirted with relegation in his final year in charge, ultimately finishing 17th overall, he did also lead Spurs to a Europa League title win, the club's first trophy in close to a generation.
Frank had been brought in to stabilise the club, and return Spurs to their status amongst the top places in the Premier League.
After failing to win in any of their last eight matches, and just two from the last 17, the Spurs hierarchy appear to have decided that Frank failed in his goals.
It remains to be seen who is appointed to take charge for the club's next fixtures.
