Xabi Alonso left Real Madrid earlier this monthXabi Alonso has been linked with potentially replacing Thomas Frank at Tottenham Hotspur should the club decide to make a change. Frank’s position as Spurs boss has become uncertain in recent weeks, with the speculation intensifying following the defeat to West Ham. Tottenham appointed Frank last summer following Ange Postecoglou’s exit, and already, there are reports claiming that a change could be made in the near future. Alonso left Madrid earlier this month following Los Blancos’s defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. ​During Tottenham’s defeat to West Ham on Saturday, sections of home fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could be heard chanting 'You're getting sacked in the morning’ to the Spurs boss.
