Report: Tottenham closing in on signing new manager Thomas Frank
Tottenham are reportedly set to appoint Brentford boss Thomas Frank as their new manager, following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou last week.
Brentford boss Thomas FrankFrank is believed to have agreed terms with Spurs, marking the end of his six-year tenure at Brentford.
Postecoglou was dismissed despite delivering Tottenham's first piece of silverware in 17 years, having led the club to Europa League glory.
However, a dismal domestic campaign that saw Spurs finish 17th in the Premier League ultimately proved his undoing. The club's official statement cited poor league form as the reason for his departure.
Thomas Frank, who became Brentford manager in 2018, is the second-longest serving boss in the Premier League behind Manchester City's Pep Guardiola.
He guided the Bees to promotion in 2021 and has impressively kept them in the top flight each season since. His win rate at Brentford stands at 41.64%.
Despite never playing at the highest level himself, Frank has built a reputation as a meticulous and tactically astute manager. His potential appointment signals Tottenham's intent to rebuild after a turbulent season.
The north London club are also preparing for a return to the Champions League, owing to their Europa League triumph, and will be hoping Frank can deliver greater consistency in the league while managing the added pressures of European competition.
