‘Brentford man to follow Thomas Frank to Tottenham’ amid huge development
Thomas Frank appears to be on the verge of becoming the next Tottenham manager and succeeding Ange Postecoglou.
Despite winning the Europa League after beating Manchester United in the final, the Spurs board decided to sack Postecoglou.
Daniel Levy is now under pressure to get his replacement spot on, as he’s already extremely unpopular among the fans.
Claus Norgaard could follow Frank out of Brentford
Managers often come with a few of their assistants who have been with them for the past few years.
BBC reported on 9 June that Tottenham will have to pay Brentford £10million in compensation to hire Frank.
That figure could go higher depending on how many of his staff members at the Bees the Danish boss wants to bring along with him.

Claus Norgaard, who’s currently his assistant manager, is very likely to follow him out the door.
He worked with Frank back in 2013 when he joined Brondby as his assistant before becoming head coach of the Denmark Under-16 and Under-18 sides in 2016.
Norgaard then joined Frank in 2022 at Brentford and he has been the assistant manager since then.
Tottenham may bring in some more coaches
Frank can strengthen Tottenham’s defence by leveraging his tactical flexibility and set-piece expertise, as demonstrated at Brentford.
His pragmatic approach, often using a 4-3-3 or 3-5-2, emphasises high pressing and structured defending, which could address Spurs’ 65 goals conceded last season.
Frank’s Brentford were known for their set-piece goals, a strength that could stabilise Tottenham’s backline, with players like Cristian Romero benefiting from his organised system.
His ability to adapt formations to opposition tactics, as seen in Brentford’s 10th-place finish despite a low budget, suggests he can maximise Spurs’ defensive talent.
However, to align with Tottenham’s attacking identity, Frank may need attack-minded assistant coaches as well.
His Brentford sides, while effective, scored fewer goals than Spurs’ preferred expansive style demands.
An assistant with expertise in dynamic, possession-based play could enhance players like Son Heung-min, ensuring a balance between defensive solidity and Tottenham’s attacking flair.
