Spurs edge closer to announcing new manager

Tottenham have reportedly reached an agreement with Brentford to appoint Thomas Frank as their new head coach, following Ange Postecoglou's sacking.
Spurs approached Brentford on Monday, initiating discussions regarding Frank's contract, which ran until 2027 and included a £10 million release clause.
Negotiations also covered Frank's backroom staff, with Brentford first-team coach Justin Cochrane expected to join him at Tottenham, returning to his former club where he began his coaching career.
Christian Eriksen, who played under Frank at both Brentford and Tottenham, has endorsed Frank as the 'right coach' for Tottenham, citing his personality, playing style, and suitability for the club's rebuilding process.
Frank, who transformed Brentford during his seven-year tenure, led the club to promotion from the Championship in 2021 and established them as a Premier League regular.
