Tottenham Appoints Brentford's Thomas Frank Head Coach

Tottenham Hotspur has appointed Thomas Frank, the former Brentford manager, as their new head coach on a contract running until 2028, replacing Ange Postecoglou who was sacked shortly after leading Spurs to their first major trophy in 17 years by winning the Europa League. Frank, known for transforming Brentford from a Championship side to an established Premier League team, will bring several of his Brentford backroom staff to Tottenham, including assistant Justin Cochrane. Despite Spurs' historic Europa League success under Postecoglou, the club finished 17th in the Premier League last season, prompting the change in management. Frank is regarded as a progressive and innovative coach with a strong track record in player and squad development, and Tottenham hopes he will lead the team successfully in the coming seasons. The sacking of Postecoglou has drawn criticism, notably from Melbourne’s Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece, who urged Tottenham to reconsider the decision, emphasizing Postecoglou’s determination and past success. The transition marks Tottenham's fourth permanent manager since June 2021 as the club aims to build on its recent European success while improving domestic league performance.
