Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta gave a classy response to the news that Thomas Frank had been sacked as Tottenham manager.
Speaking in his press conference, Arteta paid tribute to Frank as both a coach and a person, admitting that it’s always sad to hear when a colleague has lost their job.
Arteta said: “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.
“So, we know where we are…we know our responsibility is beyond just performance.
“So, wish him all the best for whatever he decides to do next.”
As Spurs are out of the FA Cup, they have a break this weekend, and their next game will actually be against Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Arteta’s side won 4-1 against THFC when Frank was in charge earlier this season, and they’ll no doubt be the favourites again.
However, Tottenham will hope to benefit from that famous ‘new manager bounce’ that can often produce a few surprises.
