Tottenham Hotspur fans might not have to wait much longer to meet their next manager—because it looks like Brentford boss Thomas Frank is on the verge of making the jump across London.
Just days after the sudden sacking of Ange Postecoglou, things are moving quickly behind the scenes, and it’s starting to feel like a fresh chapter is about to begin at Spurs.
From Brentford Brilliance to Spurs Spotlight
According to sources close to the club, talks between Spurs and Thomas Frank are heading in a very positive direction.
There’s real momentum now, and if everything continues at this pace, we could see an official announcement in a matter of days.
Frank is being lined up to take the hot seat vacated by Postecoglou—just 16 days after the Aussie coach brought home Tottenham’s first major trophy in 17 years.
Big Clause, Big Move
Of course, bringing in a proven Premier League manager like Frank doesn’t come cheap.
He has a release clause reportedly worth around £10 million, but Tottenham are more than willing to meet that figure if it means securing their top choice.
The club’s leadership is clearly ready to invest in someone they believe can build long-term success.
Familiar Faces Behind the Scenes
One key factor in all this? Frank’s existing relationship with Johan Lange, Tottenham’s technical director.
The pair have known each other for years, and that mutual respect is playing a big part in smoothing negotiations.
Lange is believed to be a major driving force behind the move, helping to convince Frank that Spurs is the right next step.
A Strong Resume and Premier League Pedigree
Frank’s managerial CV is nothing to scoff at. Last season, he led Brentford to an impressive 10th-place finish—once again proving that he knows how to get the most out of a squad, even when working with more limited resources.
That kind of overachievement hasn’t gone unnoticed, and it’s exactly the kind of mindset Tottenham want as they rebuild.
What Happens Next?
While there’s no official confirmation just yet, all signs point to Frank taking over at Spurs very soon.
If that happens, he’ll inherit a team in transition—one that’s tasted recent silverware but is desperate to build consistency and stay competitive in both domestic and European competitions.
Stay tuned. The next few days could be big ones in north London.
