- LONDON — Tottenham Hotspur have announced the appointment of Thomas
Frank as a new head coach on a contract that runs until 2028.
-
- He will be joined by Justin Cochrane (Assistant coach), Chris
Haslam (Head of Performance & First Team Assistant coach) and Joe
Newton Coach Analyst), with Andreas Georgson (Assistant Coach) arriving from
Manchester United.
-
- Frank takes over a Spurs side who had a disappointing league
campaign under Ange Postecoglou in 2024/25, finishing 17th - their lowest
position ever - after losing 22 of their 38 matches. However, Spurs beat
Manchester United to win the UEFA Europa League in May to secure their place in
the Champions League next season.
-
- The 51-year-old arrives from Brentford, where he spent seven
years, guiding the Bees to promotion to the Premier League in 2021, the first
person to lead them into a top-flight season since 1946/47.
-
- He has since consolidated their Premier League status, with
last season's final position of 10th the club’s second top-half finish in four
years.
-
- In a statement on Brentford's website, Bees' director of
football Phil Giles said, "There have been so many special moments with
Thomas and nobody will ever forget the day at Wembley for the play-off final or
that emotional first Premier League game against Arsenal. But it’s not just
what you see on the pitch. He forged a special connection with our fans, helped
develop and improve players, and was instrumental in implementing the culture
that has seen Brentford go from strength to strength.
-
- "We will never forget Thomas, but now it is time to
thank him and take the next steps in our journey with a new leader who we
believe can be just as successful and influential."
