THOMAS FRANK is now officially ready to take on the Premier League and Champions League with Tottenham - after appointing his full backroom team this week.

The former Brentford boss, 51, posed for pictures with his new staff and many were surprised to see a familiar face in the lineup.

The Danish manager has brought an ex-Rangers coach with him to North London after being impressed with his work back in Scotland and abroad.

Cameron Campbell has linked up with the gaffer as a first team individual development coach.

It's the 33-year-old's first role in a senior squad after being heavily involved with the Ibrox youth teams and RB Leipzig's academy most recently.

Born in Lossiemouth, Campbell started his career at Aberdeen and worked his way through the youth academy from assistant manager of the Under-17s squad to manager of their development squad, with a stint as youth coach in between.

From there he was picked up by the Right to Dream academy - a fruitful youth system based in Ghana which has multiple locations across the globe.

Affiliated with Danish side Norsdjaelland, the academy, owned by the Mansour Group, has produced a large number of professional players, including current Rangers star Mohamed Diomande.

The likes of Mohammed Kudus, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Simon Adingra also came through the academy.

And that's where Frank may have been made aware of Campbell given the training centre's long-lasting links with Denmark.

Campbell stayed with the Right to Dream Academy for two years between 2018 and 2020 before he was snapped up by Rangers to be the manager of their Under-18s team.

He became a popular figure at Ibrox and was even credited by Uefa for his research into crossing throughout the 2021/22 Champions League technical report.

Campbell left his role in 2024 to head to the Bundesliga where he worked with RB Leipzig as a scout and assistant manager of their Under-19s team.

But now he's started a new chapter of his career with his first role in the Premier League.

A statement from Tottenham read: "Following the recent appointment of Thomas Frank as our new Head Coach, we can now confirm the full composition of our men’s first team coaching staff ahead of the new season.

"Further to the previously-announced arrivals of Justin Cochrane (First Team Assistant Coach), Chris Haslam (Head of Performance & First Team Assistant Coach), Andreas Georgson (First Team Assistant Coach) and Joe Newton (First Team Coach Analyst), we can confirm that Matt Wells will remain on the coaching staff as First Team Assistant Coach.

"In addition, we welcome Cameron Campbell as First Team Individual Development Coach and Fabian Otte as First Team Goalkeeper Coach – they arrive following spells at RB Leipzig and Liverpool respectively.

"Furthermore, we’re pleased to announce that Stuart Lewis and Dean Brill have been promoted into new roles from our Academy.

"Stuart is now First Team Academy Transition Coach following four successful years leading our Under-18s. As part of this new role, he will aid the development and integration of our young players into the senior set-up.

"Dean becomes First Team Assistant Goalkeeping Coach, having previously worked as Head of Academy Goalkeeping.

"Finally, we can announce that Rob Burch has left the Club. A former player and coach in our Academy, Rob returned to us as First Team Goalkeeping Coach in 2023. We thank him for his service and wish him well for the future. A member of our Spurs family, he will always be welcome at the Club."
