It didn’t take long for another Premier League club to reach out and talk to Ange Postecoglou after his shock Tottenham exit this summer.
Spurs fans are now excited at the start of the Frank era, but the overwhelming majority of the fan base still holds Postecoglou in very high regard after he broke the club’s 17-year trophy drought.
Some sources previously indicated that Postecoglou received interest from other clubs less than 24 hours after his sacking, which shows how in demand he is despite his sacking by Tottenham.
It was even alleged earlier this month that one unnamed Premier League club had explored a move for Postecoglou ahead of the 2025-26 season, and it turns out that the club may have been Brentford.
Brentford spoke to Ange Postecoglou after Tottenham sacking
The Athletic have now revealed that Brentford contacted the 59-year-old about the possibility of replacing Frank at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The report claims that the Bees seriously considered Postecoglou as an option and if the move had come to fruition, it would have been the first-ever case of a managerial job swap in the Premier League.
Brentford director of football Phil Giles even allegedly held informal discussions with the recently departed Tottenham Hotspur boss, but in the end, both parties agreed that moving forward was not the best option.

Other candidates were also considered for the role by Giles, but in the end, he decided to promote Keith Andrews to the head coach role.
Postecoglou has also received offers from across the world
The former Spurs boss is no stranger to exploring new football cultures, having managed in Australia, Japan and Scotland in his career.
Last month, it was reported by The Telegraph that Postecoglou had emerged as a target for Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli, but those rumours have seemingly gone quiet.
