Hugo Lloris left shocked after what Tottenham Hotspur have done recently

Tottenham Hotspur have once again proven why they are one of the most unpredictable clubs in world football. Few teams could oscillate between the brink of relegation and European glory in the same season, and even fewer would dismiss a manager shortly after ending a 17-year trophy drought. Yet, Spurs have done exactly that—leaving club legend Hugo Lloris in disbelief.

The North London side recently parted ways with Ange Postecoglou following a disappointing run of league results, swiftly replacing him with Brentford’s Thomas Frank.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Lloris admitted that while little in football shocks him anymore, Postecoglou’s abrupt departure caught him off guard.

The former Spurs captain, who spent over a decade at the club, acknowledged the Australian’s contributions, particularly his role in delivering silverware—a rare feat in recent Tottenham history.

When asked about his reaction to Postecoglou’s sacking, Lloris responded: “Yes, I was surprised. But in football, nothing can shock you anymore. He deserves immense credit for what he achieved. We should be grateful for the trophy he brought to the club.”

Lloris’ shock is understandable, yet his own experience at Tottenham should have prepared him for such ruthlessness.

During his 11-year tenure, he played under eight different managers—including interim coaches—highlighting Daniel Levy’s notorious impatience.

Below is a breakdown of Lloris’ performances under each Tottenham manager:

This revolving door of managers underscores Levy’s relentless pursuit of success—and his willingness to make swift changes when expectations aren’t met. Postecoglou’s dismissal, though surprising given his trophy win, fits a familiar pattern.

A New Era Under Thomas Frank

With Thomas Frank now at the helm, Tottenham enter yet another new chapter. The Danish manager, known for his progressive tactics and ability to develop talent at Brentford, faces immense pressure to deliver immediately.

Unlike Postecoglou, who arrived with a long-term vision, Frank must navigate the club’s notoriously short-term expectations while dealing with a squad still in transition.

Levy’s biggest challenge will be providing Frank with the necessary backing—both in the transfer market and in terms of patience.

Tottenham’s recent history suggests that managerial stability is not a given, but if Frank can build on Postecoglou’s foundation while improving league form, he may just survive longer than his predecessors.

For Lloris, watching from afar, the cycle continues. A club he served with distinction remains as unpredictable as ever—capable of brilliance and baffling decisions in equal measure.

As Spurs embark on this latest managerial experiment, one thing is certain: in North London, change is the only constant.

Will Thomas Frank break the cycle, or will he become another casualty of Levy’s relentless demands? Only time will tell, but if history is any indication, Tottenham’s next managerial saga is already brewing.
