Thomas Frank ‘ready to answer Tottenham SOS call’ amid Brentford compensation update
Thomas Frank is in pole position to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham.
After weeks of deliberation, Daniel Levy has finally made up his mind about Postecoglou.
The Australian has officially been sacked by Tottenham, with the news confirmed by the Lilywhites on Friday (6 June).
Therefore, a replacement is now needed, and it looks as though Brentford manager Frank is ready to make the move from West London to North London.
Frank ready to accept job offer from Tottenham
Levy will no doubt have a shortlist of managers to replace Postecoglou at Tottenham. However, it looks as though Frank is going to be the man for the job.
Appointing Frank could be expensive for Levy, but that doesn’t seem as though it is set to be an issue.
| Premier League 2024/25 | Position | Points |
| Brentford | 10th | 56 |
| Tottenham | 17th | 38 |
As reported by Alan Nixon via his Patreon (6 June), Frank is ready to answer Tottenham’s call, which will no doubt arrive soon now that Postecoglou has officially been sacked.
A chance to manage a club in the UEFA Champions League is thought to be too much to resist, and insiders understand that the compensation will quickly be resolved as Levy looks to make a swift change.
Levy taking a big risk by appointing Frank
Based on performances in the Premier League, no one could argue with the decision to sack Postecoglou. However, the 59-year-old also ended a 17-year trophy drought in North London.
Therefore, he built an emotional connection with fans and his players, which makes sacking him a big risk. If Frank doesn’t hit the ground running, questions could quickly be asked of Levy.
While the Dane has worked wonders with Brentford, there is no guarantee he will be able to make the step up to a club as big as Tottenham. As a result, this is one of Levy’s biggest gambles to date, and the chairman will be desperately hoping it pays off.
