had undoubtedly been on holiday, given the timing of the appointment less than a month after the 2024/25 Premier League season had ended. But the 51-year-old is now in the building at Hotspur Way and raring to get stuck in to the new challenge having arrived from London rivals Brentford.

posted the full interview with the new boss on their official website on Wednesday evening, with Frank opening up on a number of things including his playing style, his excitement at the opportunity and working with chairman Daniel Levy, new CEO Vinai Venkatesham and technical director Johan Lange.

When asked about working with the Spurs hierarchy, made one reference to transfers, without being pushed. The is in full flow, but Spurs have only so far, and that was a reasonably simple deal to get done with the Frenchman spending the 2024/25 season on loan with having an option to buy him at the end of it.

Frank said: "Hopefully we win a lot. We'll work very hard every single day to make sure we create as many magic moments for the fans, and put them together and hopefully at the end of the season there will be a very good season, but the alignment in terms of structure, processes, transfers, squad, playing style, culture, all that is is key."

And the next deal may see someone already at the club put pen to paper on a new contract.

There have been talks in recent weeks of midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur signing a new deal, with his current contract due to expire in 2026.

When talking about the squad he is inheriting, Frank made reference to a number of players specifically, with Bentancur one he was very quick to mention, suggesting he is a big fan of the Uruguayan.

"How can we get the best out of them," he asked. "Let's say Dominic Solanke, a big fan of him, in terms of his abilities. I'm sure we'll make him score a lot of goals.

"How can we play with Bentancur, you know, [James] Maddison, how can we get that, but of course the younger ones as well. I think it's all players that we need to develop and make perform on the highest level. But of course [Lucas] Bergvall, Archie Gray, [Wilson] Odobert, [Destiny] Udogie, all of them, I think have a high ceiling. There's others I haven't mentioned, it's the whole squad and I'm looking forward to it."

Mentioning Bentancur after Solanke hints that Frank wants to build his midfield around the Uruguayan and that a new contract being agreed is imperative.
