Tottenham hire Thomas Frank! Spurs confirm appointment of Danish boss after reaching agreement with Brentford following sacking of Europa League winner Ange Postecoglou

<p>After a hugely successful seven-year spell managing Brentford, the Danish coach will move to North London on a contract that runs until 2028. He'll be joined by his previous assistants at Brentford, Justin Cochrane, Chris Haslam and Joe Newton, with set-piece specialist Andreas Georgson also arriving from Manchester United.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We are delighted to announce the appointment of Thomas Frank as our new Head Coach on a contract that runs until 2028.<br><br>Welcome, Thomas! 🤍</p>— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/1933241935965401545?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 12, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Frank's pedigree in the English game is undeniable; in 2020 the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/thomas-frank-seven-point-tottenham-plan-beat-mutiny-win-trophy-hijack-man-utd-move-bryan-mbeumo/bltd91eb753caee669b" target="_blank">Danish tactician guided Brentford</a> to the top-flight for the first time in 74 years, and in the seasons since, he's cemented the Bees' Premier League status and boosted their points tally year on year. Whether he will be able to replicate that success at Spurs is another matter entirely, given the club's recent difficulties and the fractured relationship between ownership and fanbase.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In an official club statement, the club wrote: "We are delighted to announce the appointment of Thomas Frank as our new Head Coach on a contract that runs until 2028. Thomas has extensive experience in English football having joined Brentford in 2016 - since becoming one of the longest-serving current managers in the Premier League... In Thomas we are appointing one of the most progressive and innovative head coaches within the game. He has a proven track record in player and squad development and we look forward to him leading the team as we prepare for the season ahead."</p>

WHAT TOTTENHAM SAID

<p>The new Spurs boss has a long list of pressing tasks on his plate, from <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/thomas-frank-seven-point-tottenham-plan-beat-mutiny-win-trophy-hijack-man-utd-move-bryan-mbeumo/bltd91eb753caee669b#csc3c86c4f2df071ff" target="_blank">preventing a player mutiny</a> led by Ange-loving stars, to bringing in trusted Brentford disciples like Bryan Mbeumo, who has been heavily linked with a move away from west London. Frank has all the skills required to improve Tottenham's level next season, but many more experienced managers have failed to achieve success at Daniel Levy's club in recent years.</p>
