Tottentham Hotspur has officially appointed Thomas Frank as their new head coach, replacing the sacked Ange Postecoglou. The 51-year-old Dane signed a three-year contract and is Tottenham's fifth full-time manager in six years, as confirmed by the club on June 12, 2025. Frank is stepping into the role after leading Brentford to success in the Premier League since 2018, establishing them as a competitive side, and guiding Tottenham into the Champions League after their recent Europa League victory in Bilbao.

Under Frank's leadership, Brentford achieved notable success, finishing as high as ninth in the Premier League and scoring a total of 66 goals last season, the fourth highest in the league. Despite a challenging period for Tottenham in which they finished 17th, Frank's history of creating competitive teams from relatively modest resources was highlighted by the club's decision to appoint him. The club's statement referred to him as "one of the most progressive and innovative head coaches within the game."

Frank's coaching style places heavy emphasis on player data and squad development, and he has a reputation for transforming underperforming squads into successful entities. Brentford's Director of Football, Phil Giles, praised Frank for his emotional intelligence and ability to connect with players, saying, "his wisdom and coaching ability have helped transform the club." The new challenge at Tottenham will require a fast start to gain the support of fans who felt franchise foundation should have been further solidified under Postecoglou after their trophy win.

As part of his coaching staff, Frank will bring along Justin Cochrane, who served as assistant coach at Brentford, as well as Chris Haslam, head of athletic performance, and first-team analyst Joe Newton. Additionally, Andreas Georgson joins from Manchester United, indicating a strategic approach to reinforcing the coaching team in order to enhance performance in the upcoming season.
