If you were hoping for a quick resolution to Tottenham Hotspur’s now vacant head coaching position, well you’re about to be even more disappointed. According to David Ornstein in The Athletic, Spurs will make their decision and announce who will take over as head coach from Ange Postecoglou next week, and that no decision has yet been made.
That said, to absolutely no one’s surprise, Brentford manager Thomas Frank is the leading contender.
What’s surprising here isn’t that Frank is currently leading the pile — he is by all accounts a good manager who has had Brentford overachieving since he got them promoted from the Championship a few years back. What’s surprising is that Tottenham have had two weeks from the end of the season and apparently haven’t gotten their ducks lined up in a row. Spurs fans will now have to wait until next week, at some point, to find out who will lead the team.
