13 Jun 2025

Tottenham Hotspur have appointed Thomas Frank as their new head coach.

The 51-year-old Danish tactician has signed a contract until 2028, after leaving Brentford where he had a successful seven-year tenure.

Frank will replace Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked despite leading Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years by winning the Europa League final.

Frank's managerial style and Brentford experience
Coaching history

Frank joined Brentford in December 2016 and became the manager in 2018.

He is known for his tactical flexibility and ability to improve players, especially those who have struggled at other clubs.

Now, at Tottenham, he will be managing a higher quality squad (even if they finished below Brentford in last season's Premier League) and competing in the Champions League for the first time.

Tottenham released a statement saying, "In Thomas we are appointing one of the most progressive and innovative head coaches within the game."

The club added that Frank has "a proven track record in player and squad development" and they look forward to him leading the team for the upcoming season.

Along with his appointment, Spurs have also confirmed that several members of Frank's backroom staff from Brentford will join him.

This includes assistant coach Justin Cochrane and set-piece specialist Andreas Georgson, who is joining from Manchester United.

Despite a disappointing Premier League campaign last season where they finished 17th with just 38 points, Spurs will be competing in next season's Champions League after their Europa League victory.
