On a three-year deal, Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement with former Brentford manager Thomas Frank as their new head coach after they have sacked Ange Postecoglou. After they paid a £10 million compensation fee to Brentford, Spurs officially announced the Dane’s arrival on Thursday.
Frank has a lot of experience in the Premier League, having turned Brentford from a Championship team into a side that is regularly in the top flight. He was the chairman Daniel Levy’s choice because of his progressive playing style and focus on long-term squad development. Frank’s trusted assistants Justin Cochrane, Chris Haslam, and Joe Newton will be with him at Spurs.
The decision to part ways with Postecoglou although the coach has won the Europa League was a controversial one and could be called a necessary one. Spurs ended up in position 17 which was embarrassingly low in the Premier League, and the situation of frontline tactics, dressing room unrest, and bad domestic results were the main issues that needed solving, more than the European triumph. Stability and league success continue to be Tottenham’s main objectives.
Frank has the credentials of being tactical aware, having the flair of emotional guidance, and the history of improving underdog teams that make him suitable to lead the way for Tottenham’s rebranding efforts. Frank’s arrival is the new beginning of the club’s journey as they pursue the restoration of the clubs’ place in the top of the English league under a visionary and disciplined head coach.
