Thomas Frank odds slashed again as Tottenham close in on new manager
Ange Postecoglou is still not safe as Tottenham manager despite his Europa League victory.
The Australian ended Spurs’ 17-year wait for a trophy on Wednesday as they overcame Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao.
As a result, Tottenham have qualified for the Champions League, with supporters quickly forgetting the London club’s domestic struggles.
However, Daniel Levy is clearly not prepared to forgive Postecoglou still close to the sack.
Thomas Frank now just 4/6 to become new Tottenham manager
Brighton could be Postecoglou’s last game in charge at Tottenham as numerous names are linked to the London club.
Scott Parker had been heavily linked to Spurs after he oversaw an immediate return to the English top-flight for Burnley.
Now, it is believed that Brentford manager Thomas Frank is the favourite for the job.
The Dane has worked wonders at the Bees and has taken them from Championship obscurity to European contenders in the Premier League.
| Thomas Frank at Brentford | |

| Wins | 132 |
| Draws | 76 |
| Losses | 108 |
| Win percentage | 41.77 per cent |
| Honours | Championship playoffs x1 |
Franks odds of becoming the Tottenham manager were recently slashed to 1/2.
However, according to Bet365 (25 May), it is now at 4/6.
Oddschecker have confirmed that he is the only manager on the Bet365’s candidates whose odds are shortening.
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is the second favourite, with odds of 8/1.
Frank would be a risky appointment for Tottenham
If Tottenham do go through with sacking Postecoglou and appointing Frank, it would be incredibly risky.
While the Dane has been fantastic at Brentford, he is yet to take over a club with high expectations.
The appointment could end up being similar to Nuno Espirito Santo’s short stint. A manager who was excellent at Wolves but could not handle the pressure at Tottenham.
On top of this, Frank will be replacing Postecoglou, who is extremely popular among fans at the moment.
If the first few results go badly for the Dane, he is likely to receive even more backlash from supporters.
