Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has confirmed Cristian Romero will remain club captain after the defender publicly criticized the team’s “disgraceful” lack of depth following the January transfer window.
​Thomas Frank has backed Cristian Romero to continue as Tottenham captain despite the defender’s recent social media outburst.
Romero labeled the club’s recruitment strategy “disgraceful” after a series of injuries left the squad depleted following the transfer deadline.
Frank noted that while the 27-year-old makes mistakes, “Romero is 27-years-old. Is he still going to make mistakes going forward as a leader, does he do a lot of good things? Yes.”
​The manager confirmed the issue was handled internally, insisting Romero remains central to his plans.
Despite the controversy and rumors of interest from Atletico Madrid, Frank emphasized the player’s long-term commitment.
“Right now, he is the captain, he has a long-term contract, we signed a new contract with him,” Frank said. Spurs now look to move past the distraction ahead of their clash with Manchester United.
