Antonin Kinsky posted bizarre two-word message around the time Thomas Frank was sacked, then turns off comments
Tottenham have sacked Thomas Frank and reserve goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky has seemingly posted a cryptic message in response.
Frank was finally dismissed by Tottenham on Wednesday morning, with the Lilywhites sitting 16th in the Premier League.
Spurs were beaten 2-1 by Newcastle United on Tuesday evening, in what proved to be the Dane’s final game in charge of the club.
Kinsky was on the bench for the contest, as he has been for the majority of the season, but that didn’t stop him from making his feelings known after Frank’s exit was confirmed.
Antonin Kinsky sparks confusion after Thomas Frank sack
Kinsky looked set to leave Tottenham during the winter transfer window, with lots of speculation over a potential move to West Ham United.
However, his departure was blocked in the end, with Spurs unable to bring in a replacement before the deadline.
The 22-year-old clearly felt that his development was being stunted in North London, and that a move away would help his career.
Kinsky’s relationship with Frank had never shown any sign of strain from the outside, but that has now changed following the Dane’s dismissal.
Around the time that Tottenham announced the 52-year-old would be leaving the club, Kinsky posted a cryptic message on Instagram.
The Czech Republic shot-stopper shared two photos, one of him in a Tottenham jacket, and one of him as a child, with the caption: “Heart’s desire.”
While the post is not directly related to Frank, many Spurs fans believe it is Kinsky revealing his true thoughts about his former boss, and celebrating his departure.
Antonin Kinsky set for opportunity under new manager
With Frank’s exit now confirmed, it could open the door for Kinsky to get more opportunities in the Tottenham first team.
Guglielmo Vicario has struggled at times this season, but he has consistently retained a place in the starting lineup to this point.
In contrast, Kinsky has made just two appearances across all competitions this term, both coming in the EFL Cup.
Under a new manager, the out-of-favour shot-stopper has the chance to impress and may be handed a start in the Premier League.
It remains to be seen who will come in at Tottenham to replace Frank, but Kinsky will be hoping he has the opportunity to revitalise his Spurs career.
