Tottenham immediately announced the replacement of Ange postecoglou!

Gilabola.com – Tottenham Hotspur moves quickly after fireing Ange postecoglou last Friday. The North London club has taken an official approach to Brentford to recruit Thomas Frank as their new head coach.

Thomas Frank became the main candidate

According to reports from PA, Spurs have established positive initial communication with Frank throughout the weekend. The belief that the Danish coach will become the Successor of Postcoglous stronger on Monday morning. Tottenham is now discussing with Brentford about the compensation package.

Thomas Frank still has a contract with The Bees until the summer of 2027, and is said to have a release clause worth £ 10 million. Although Brentford was reluctant to release Frank, they were willing to negotiate to get proper compensation.

Frank was praised for his achievements to bring the Brentford promotion to the Premier League in 2021 and keep the club competitive even with a limited budget.

His reputation as a coach with sharp tactics and capable managerial abilities made him glimpsed by many big clubs in the last few seasons.

Spurs change direction despite success in Europe

The postcoglous dismissal surprised many parties, mainly because Spurs had just won the Europa League – the first trophy in 17 years. However, finishing in the 17th position of the Premier League is the main reason the club council acted decisively.

In his official statement, Tottenham said that changes in the approach were considered crucial to compete in many competitions next season. This step is also accompanied by a coach staff reshuffle. Mile Jedinak, Nick Montgomery, and Sergio Raimundo have also been dismissed. Ryan Mason first left the club last week to train West Brom.

With a fairly large staff emptiness, Thomas Frank is believed to bring some of his own team members. Brentford’s assistant, Claus Norgaard, was called a strong candidate to catch up with Frank to Tottenham.

Denmark connection behind the scenes

Frank’s arrival to Spurs will also reunite him with Johan Lange, the club’s technical director. Both of them once worked together at the Danish club, Lyngby. Lange even tried to recruit Frank while still at Aston Villa in 2022.

Meanwhile, Scott Munn, Head of the Tottenham Football Division which was appointed last year, will also leave the club this summer.
