Brentford manager Thomas Frank is the man Tottenham have targeted to replace Ange Postecoglou, according to multiple reports yesterday.

Postecoglou was dismissed after two seasons in charge on Friday despite ending Spurs’ 17- year trophy drought by winning the Europa League last month.

Frank, who has been in charge of the Bees since 2018, led Brentford back to the top flight in 2021 after an absence of 74 years and has established the west London club in the Premier League.

Hiring the Dane, whose contract runs until 2027, would cost Spurs around £10 million ($14 million) in compensation. The BBC reported that a formal approach from Tottenham is expected in the coming days.

Spurs will play in the Champions League next season thanks to their Europa League success in Bilbao, where they Manchester United 1-0.
