Key Takeaways:
Tottenham have officially appointed Thomas Frank as their new head coach. The announcement was made yesterday. The 51-year-old will succeed Ange Postecoglou, who was dismissed just days after leading the team to the Europa League trophy – ending a 17-year wait for silverware with a 1–0 win over Manchester United in the final in Bilbao.
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Thomas Frank as our new Head Coach on a contract that runs until 2028.
Welcome, Thomas! 🤍

Frank’s arrival comes at a cost, with Spurs paying a club-record £10 million to prise him away from Brentford, making him the third most expensive manager in Premier League history.
His first competitive match in charge of Tottenham will be against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup.
Frank had spent the past seven years at Brentford. He guided the club to promotion from the Championship in 2021, after which the Bees established themselves in the Premier League and built a reputation as a high-intensity, forward-thinking side.
The Dane has signed a contract with Tottenham until 2028. His staff will include Justin Cochrane (First Team Assistant Coach), Chris Haslam (Head of Performance and First Team Assistant Coach), and Joe Newton (First Team Coaching Analyst). Andreas Georgson (First Team Assistant Coach) will join from Manchester United.
