‘Fabio Paratici to redirect Tottenham manager hunt’ after Thomas Frank news
Tottenham are in the midst of another managerial search as they look to replace Ange Postecoglou.
It is an all too familiar position for Tottenham, with Postecoglou’s two-year reign the longest a manager has been in charge at Hotspur Way since Mauricio Pochettino left in 2019.
The onus is once again on Daniel Levy to bring in a new face to guide the ever-changing club into its latest era.
Oliver Glasner, Marco Silva and Thomas Frank have all been linked with the vacant position in North London as the chairman highlights Premier League experience as a prerequisite.
Frank has emerged as the clear favourite, but there has now been a twist.
Tottenham are yet to approach Brentford for Frank
Brentford have made it clear that Frank will not come cheap, with the Dane’s release clause reportedly set at around £9million.
Despite his historic reluctance to spend extravagantly, Levy is prepared to pay the necessary fee to prise the 51-year-old away from West London, given his excellent record in the last few seasons.
| Season | Wins | Draws | Losses | Points | League Position |
| 2024/25 | 16 | 8 | 14 | 56 | 10th |
| 2023/24 | 10 | 9 | 19 | 39 | 16th |
| 2022/23 | 15 | 14 | 9 | 59 | 9th |
However, as reported by Tom Barclay via X (8 June), Brentford are yet to hear from Spurs regarding Frank.
This ignited the fanbase, who were already chastising Levy for his decision to sack Postecoglou in the first place after the 59-year-old brought fans arguably their greatest moment of the century by winning the UEFA Europa League.
Spurs supporters took to X to react to the latest news, with one fan suggesting that Fabio Paratici, who is widely reported to be returning to Tottenham, could redirect the manager hunt.
Levy can’t afford another delayed decision
The 12-day delay in announcing Postecoglou‘s fate from the last game of the season has already hindered preparations ahead of next season.
Tottenham are losing ground to their Premier League rivals, most of whom have already made significant signings in the transfer window.
The Lilywhites will also have distinct memories of summers gone by, where Spurs hopelessly chased a handful of managers before settling on a candidate who was never their first choice.
Levy is already under pressure and must ensure a verdict is reached swiftly if Tottenham are to have any chance of improving their fortunes.
