Tottenham Hotspur have appointed Thomas Frank as the club’s new head coach after prizing the manager away from his previous post at Brentford.
Spurs made the announcement on Thursday.
ESPN reported that Spurs were hopeful of naming Frank, 51, as Ange Postecoglou’s successor after also considering Fulham boss Marco Silva and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola.
Postecoglou was sacked just 16 days after leading Spurs to Europa League glory, ending a 17-year wait for silverware with a 1-0 win over Manchester United in Bilbao.
Frank has made the move across London after spending seven years at Brentford. He guided the club to promotion from the Championship in 2021 after Brentford beat Swansea City in the 2021 Championship play-off final.
Under the Danish head coach, Brentford have become an established Premier League team with a reputation for high intensity, forward-thinking football.
