Thomas Frank Named New Tottenham Hotspur Head Coach

Thomas Frank Named New Tottenham Hotspur Head Coach

Thomas Frank said on Friday that he had “left a big piece of my heart” at Brentford, as he begins the challenging job of turning around Tottenham’s Premier League fortunes.

 

The Danish coach was unveiled on Thursday as Spurs’ new head coach, signing a three-year contract to succeed the dismissed Ange Postecoglou.

 

Frank, 51, won 136 of his 317 matches across seven years at Brentford, taking them into the Premier League in 2021.

 

In an emotional message posted on Brentford’s website, Frank said: “The time has come for me to move on. But, even as I leave, I know I have left a big piece of my heart at Brentford, not just at the football club but with the community and, of course, the incredible and loyal supporters.

 

I want to extend my profound gratitude to the club for giving me the chance to pursue my dreams and to everyone involved who made the journey such a memorable one.”

 

He said it had been a privilege to be allowed to be part of such a “special community”.

 

“Whatever we have achieved, we have achieved together, and our success is built on unity, spirit, courage, and ambition at every level of the club

and amongst the fans,” he said.

 

“Everyone has played a part, and each contribution has been invaluable. I’m not just leaving a football club—I’m saying goodbye to friends whose support through the highs and lows I’ll always cherish,” Frank said.

 

Now Tottenham’s fourth permanent manager since 2021, Frank faces the challenge of restoring the club to the upper ranks of the Premier League.

 

Spurs secured a return to the Champions League after winning the Europa League in Bilbao, where they edged Manchester United 1-0 in the final—clinching their first European trophy in 41 years. The triumph fulfilled former boss Ange Postecoglou’s promise of winning silverware in his second season.

 

However, the Australian was dismissed after a dismal Premier League campaign that saw Spurs finish 17th, with 22 losses in 38 matches—ending the season seven places and 18 points behind Frank’s Brentford.
