Cristian Romero's brutal Thomas Frank snub as Igor Tudor learns huge Tottenham issue

Cristian Romero has been silent on Thomas Frank's exit, with only a handful of Spurs players posting farewell messages to the former boss

Cristian Romero has raised eyebrows after failing to acknowledge Thomas Frank's departure from Tottenham Hotspur on social media - unlike some of his teammates. The Argentinian centre‑back, who publicly thanked Ange Postecoglou when he left the club, did not post any message to the Dane following his dismissal.

Frank was sacked earlier this month, with Spurs sitting 16th in the Premier League and winless in eight matches. The 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United proved to be the final straw.

Only a handful of players - Richarlison, Joao Palhinha and Pedro Porro, shared farewell messages on social media. Captain Romero opted to stay quiet on this occasion, even though he shared a long farewell message when Postecoglou departed the club last year.

At the time, Romero wrote: "Ange, thank you for these two incredible seasons. You're a fantastic coach, but above all, a great person who deserves the best.

"From day one you paved the way despite the many obstacles that always existed and always will exist.

"Beyond everything, we won a trophy and went down in the history of this beautiful club, which is the only thing that matters.

"I wish you the best because you deserve the best, and thank you for everything."

The Frank snub speaks volumes, and it highlights a broader issue inside the dressing room: a squad that needs pulling together again. Which leaves interim head coach Igor Tudor with an immediate challenge.

Over the next few weeks, he must work to bring players back onside and restore a sense of unity at a time when every point matters in their Premier League campaign.

Spurs sit just three points above the relegation zone, and Tudor's first game in charge could hardly be tougher.

His debut comes in the north London derby against Arsenal on Sunday (4:30pm), a fixture that will test both the team and his ability to steady a squad clearly short on confidence.
