Tottenham is close to acquiring Brentford’s manager, Thomas Frank, as their new head coach. Talks between the clubs are going well, and many expect Frank could be named Ange Postecoglou’s replacement within 48 hours. Everyone involved wants to finish the deal quickly, even his previous club. 

Brentford is set to receive compensation for 51-year-old Thomas Frank, who joined the club in 2016 after managing Brondby. Sources say Tottenham will have to pay around £10 million to release him from his current contract, which could increase depending on how many coaching staff members he chooses to bring.

Behind the deal, the newly hired Tottenham chief executive, Vinai Venkatesham, and chairman Daniel Levy are said to support this decision entirely. They are also involved in appointing Frank into Hotspur’s ranks. 

Thomas Frank’s previous achievements

During his time in Brentford in 2018, his efforts allowed the team to participate in the English Premier League (EPL), and they also won the Championship play-off final at Wembley in 2021. This established them as a club, even though the budget was small. 

In the recent 2024-25 EPL, Brentford reached 10th place in the league table. They were way above Tottenham, which was placed 17th with only 11 wins out of 38 games.

During the Premier League match last February 16, Manchester United lost the game against Tottenham Hotspurs 1-0. The intense first half sealed the match after Tottenham’s James Maddison took the first and final score, allowing Tottenham to move forward into the league while Manchester United took 15th place. 

Manchester United’s football manager Ruben Amorim, expressed thoughts about the constant changes in plans. 

‘I have a lot of problems, my job is so, so hard here. But I stick with my beliefs.â€?he stated. 

‘Sometimes you want Bruno (Fernandes) to reach the ball in the build-up because he's really good switching the play. But then you want Bruno also to press and it's really hard. And when you are changing all the time to get the players to react to the base, it's really hard.�Amorim added.

Amorim has his hands full but hopes that the team can regain themselves in the FA Cup and the Europa League.
