Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta dropped club rivalries to hail the “extraordinary” Thomas Frank after news of his Tottenham Hotspur exit was revealed on Wednesday morning, while also acknowledging the delicate position of every Premier League boss.
“Well, always very sad news when you have a colleague that doesn’t continue doing his job because Thomas is an excellent coach, he’s an extraordinary man as well and he’s proven that in the league,” Arteta said of the Spurs boss, who was relieved of his duties after steering the club into 16th place following a ruinous run of domestic form.
