Tottenham Approach Thomas Frank After Sacking Postecoglou

In a bold move that signals another major transition, Tottenham approach Thomas Frank following the sudden dismissal of Ange Postecoglou. The North London club is set to make a formal offer to Brentford for their Danish boss this week, with Frank reportedly eager to bring his trusted backroom staff to Spurs should a deal be finalized.

Postecoglou, who was relieved of his duties on Friday, is already being targeted by another Premier League side, according to sources at Mail Sport. His departure was followed swiftly by the exit of assistants Mile Jedinak, Nick Montgomery, and Sergio Raimundo. For now, Matt Wells and goalkeeper coach Rob Burch remain—but their future may hinge on Frank’s potential appointment.

Will Thomas Frank Be the Right Fit?

Tottenham’s approach for Thomas Frank isn’t just based on availability—it’s also rooted in relationships. Sporting director Johan Lange, a former coaching partner of Frank at Danish side Lyngby, is believed to play a key role in facilitating the move. The two reportedly remain close, and Lange’s influence could prove decisive in brokering the reported £9 million compensation deal with Brentford.

But if negotiations collapse, Spurs have Marco Silva (Fulham) and Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace) in the wings as contingency options. Still, Frank remains the primary target due to his tactical discipline, long-term Premier League experience, and ability to develop players with modest resources.

Brentford’s Backup Plan Already in Motion

Should Frank exit, Brentford are already preparing internally. Justin Cochrane, current head of coaching and a former Spurs youth coach, is one name being considered. Additionally, Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna is being eyed as an external candidate. Cochrane’s history with both clubs—and his work with Thomas Tuchel’s England staff—could make him a strategic bridge during the transition.

Can Spurs Survive Another Managerial Overhaul?

The big question remains: Will Tottenham survive yet another managerial reset? With Fabio Paratici expected to play a larger role alongside Lange after the departure of chief football officer Scott Munn, Spurs are clearly moving toward a restructured hierarchy both on and off the pitch.

The women’s team also faces upheaval, with Robert Vilahamn dismissed following a season where relegation was narrowly avoided. It’s clear Spurs are not only trying to evolve their men’s team leadership—but reshape the entire club culture across departments.

If Thomas Frank does take the reins, his measured style, tactical clarity, and leadership could stabilize a side in flux. But given Tottenham’s history with frequent managerial changes, fans are right to be cautiously optimistic. For more of Tottenham news, check out the link below.
