Tottenham Hotspur: Thomas Frank new coach after Postecoglou's dismissal!

Tottenham Hotspur are set for a managerial change after the club reached an agreement with Thomas Frank. The Danish coach, who has been working at Brentford FC since 2018, is expected to be Ange Postecoglou's successor. After Postecoglou was sacked following a disappointing season and 17th place finish in the Premier League, Spurs are now looking for a new impetus for the coming season. Last season, Brentford finished in a solid tenth place under Frank, which contributed to their recognition in the football world.

How laola1 Reportedly, negotiations over a long-term contract have already taken place and Thomas Frank is expected to be officially introduced as the new coach in the coming days. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, talks are ongoing over his release from Brentford. It is clear that Frank has a contract until 2027, which includes a release clause of around £10 million.

The path to agreement

Although Tottenham have not yet made an official request to Brentford, it is widely expected that this move will follow soon. Brentford are expected to insist on compliance with the release clause, which could further complicate negotiations. Thomas Frank has built an excellent reputation with the Bees over the last seven years, leading the club into the Premier League in 2021 and firmly establishing them there.

Ange Postecoglou's sacking came after a disappointing league performance, despite success in the Europa League not being enough to secure the manager's position. Under his leadership, the team was unable to deliver consistent performances, which ultimately led to one of the lower places in the Premier League.

Equipment for the future

Thomas Frank will work alongside Johan Lange, the club's technical director, in his new role at Tottenham. Lange and Frank have a previous relationship, having previously worked together at Lyngby in Denmark. This collaboration could be crucial to develop fresh ideas for transfers and team dynamics. Frank could also bring some of his current Brentford staff with him after Tottenham sacked Postecoglou's coaching staff.

Meanwhile, Scott Munn, Tottenham's chief football officer, has also been sacked. Current Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna is currently top of the list of possible successors to Frank at Brentford, meaning the changes in football surrounding Tottenham and Brentford may extend beyond the managerial change.
