Spurs move to sound out Thomas Frank as they weigh up Postecoglou’s future

3
Tottenham have met with intermediaries to discuss a potential move for Brentford’s Thomas Frank. Spurs have been considering whether to persist with their manager, Ange Postecoglou, since the end of the season and his future remains in doubt.

Postecoglou brought glory to the club when he ended a 17-year trophy drought by overseeing a win over Manchester United in the Europa League final. The victory transformed the mood in and around Spurs, with some fans feeling he deserves the chance to carry on.

The chair, Daniel Levy, cannot easily overlook the disastrous Premier League campaign in which the team finished 17th with 38 points. Postecoglou admitted after the last match against Brighton on 25 May that he was in the dark over his future and the silence since then has not boded well.

Spurs are giving serious thought to Frank, having been impressed with his stellar work at Brentford. The Dane joined them in October 2018 when they were in the Championship and got them promoted via the playoffs in 2020-21. He has established them in the top-flight; they finished this past season 10th with 56 points.

Brentford have thought that Frank will stay with them for another season and there would be obstacles for Spurs to overcome, including paying to acquire him. They would also have to pay off Postecoglou, who has two years on his contract.
