Tottenham Expected to Approach Brentford Thomas Frank Amid Managerial Shift

Tottenham Hotspur have identified Brentford manager Thomas Frank as their top target to replace recently sacked Ange Postecoglou, with formal approaches expected imminently. Frank, who has successfully guided Brentford from the Championship to the Premier League, is keen on the Tottenham job and wants to bring key players like Bryan Mbeumo with him, potentially disrupting Manchester United’s interest in the forward. Tottenham are also prepared to pay Frank's £8-9 million release clause and hope that sporting director Johan Lange, a former colleague of Frank, can facilitate the move. Brentford are preparing for Frank’s possible departure by considering Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna and promoting from within, with Francesco Farioli also identified as a replacement candidate. Tottenham have already dismissed Postecoglou’s assistants and are planning a wider restructuring, including expanding Fabio Paratici’s role alongside Lange. The club is optimistic about concluding Frank’s appointment soon, viewing him as a manager capable of elevating Tottenham’s competitiveness in the Premier League and Champions League.
