Thomas Frank to Tottenham: Spurs Near Deal with Brentford for New Head Coach
Share
Thomas Frank to Tottenham is looking more likely as Spurs enter the final phase of negotiations with Brentford over a compensation package for the Danish manager. After sacking Ange Postecoglou just over two weeks after he delivered Europa League glory, Tottenham have swiftly moved to secure Frank as their next head coach. Discussions are now in their third day, with confidence growing that a deal will soon be reached.
- Tottenham are close to appointing Thomas Frank as head coach
- Talks with Brentford have reached an advanced stage
- Frank’s contract runs until 2027 and includes a release clause
- His potential move follows Spurs’ recent Europa League triumph
Frank, who has been with Brentford since 2018, is under contract until 2027. That agreement includes a release clause estimated at £10 million, a key point in the current negotiations. Over the weekend, Tottenham made a formal approach to Brentford, and talks have since accelerated, focusing not only on compensation but also on Frank’s desired backroom team setup.
If appointed, Frank would inherit a squad that tasted European success but suffered a dismal Premier League campaign, finishing 17th. One of his first challenges would be resolving the future of captain Son Heung-min, who is under contract for one more season after a one-year option was triggered earlier this year. Son has so far remained non-committal about his long-term future in North London.
Reactions from within the Spurs camp have been mixed. Defender Micky van de Ven described Postecoglou’s dismissal as “strange” but acknowledged the club’s right to make such decisions. He added that many players respected the outgoing coach, who delivered Tottenham’s first major silverware in 17 years. Still, focus now turns to what a Frank-led Tottenham could look like in the upcoming season.
Brentford, meanwhile, appear braced for Frank’s potential departure. Defender Nathan Collins praised his current coach but expressed faith in the club’s ability to move forward. As the deal edges closer, fans and analysts alike are watching for updates — and for new insights into how Frank might shape Spurs’ tactical future.
