Tottenham Hotspur are on the verge of appointing Thomas Frank as their new head coach, with the Brentford boss keen on stepping into the role vacated by former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Frank is fully aware of Spurs’ interest and has made it clear he wants the job. Talks between the two parties are believed to be at an advanced stage, with only formal steps and paperwork left before the Danish coach is officially unveiled in North London.
Frank has built a strong reputation at Brentford, guiding them into the Premier League and establishing them as a competitive, well-drilled outfit.
Postecoglou, despite delivering a historic Europa League title, was dismissed after a dismal league campaign saw Spurs finish 17th. His sacking shocked many, including the playing squad, but the club have moved swiftly to line up a replacement.
Before his move to North London, Postecoglou made an unforgettable mark in Glasgow. Arriving in the summer of 2021 as a largely unknown quantity, the Australian faced early scepticism but swiftly silenced doubters by rebuilding a broken Celtic side in stunning fashion. In his first season, he delivered a league and League Cup double, restoring domestic dominance and reconnecting the club with its support through a fearless, attacking brand of football.
What followed was even more impressive. The 2022/23 campaign saw Postecoglou’s Celtic sweep all before them, clinching a world record eighth domestic treble. Players he recruited – many from the J-League – flourished under his guidance, while his humble but commanding presence made him a beloved figure at Parkhead.
Though his time in Glasgow lasted just two seasons, the legacy he left behind remains significant. Whatever comes next for him, he’ll always have a place in the hearts of the Celtic fans.
