Brentford Boss Set for London Switch as Spurs Overhaul Backroom Staff After Turbulent Season
Tottenham Hotspur are finalizing a deal to appoint Brentford’s Thomas Frank as their new manager, with the Danish tactician expected to cost £10 million in compensation to prise away from their London rivals.
The move comes just days after Spurs’ dramatic decision to sack Ange Postecoglou despite his Europa League triumph, with the club’s dismal 17th-place Premier League finish proving unforgivable for the board. Frank’s existing relationship with technical director Johan Lange – the pair previously worked together at Danish club Lyngby – has been pivotal in accelerating negotiations over the weekend.
“This was one of our toughest decisions, but we must compete on all fronts,” read Tottenham’s Friday statement, as they simultaneously cleared out Postecoglou’s coaching staff including Mile Jedinak and chief football officer Scott Munn. The sweeping changes signal chairman Daniel Levy’s determination to overhaul a fractured football structure after their worst domestic campaign in years.
Frank, 51, arrives with glowing Premier League credentials after transforming Brentford from Championship hopefuls to established top-flight competitors during his seven-year tenure. His anticipated appointment reunites him with Lange, who will partner with consultant Fabio Paratici on crucial summer transfers once the Italian’s ban expires.
While Brentford will demand full payment of Frank’s release clause, the ambitious manager appears ready to embrace the challenge of reviving Spurs’ Premier League fortunes while building on their European success. His arrival promises a new era at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – one where Premier League consistency must complement cup triumphs.
