The former Brentford manager was hired by Daniel Levy to take over from the ex-Celtic gaffer in North London
Thomas Frank has spoken out on Ange Postecoglou as part of his first interview as Tottenham's new manager – hailing him as a legend.
The former Celtic boss delivered on his second season trophy promise as he sparked wild scenes in Bilbao by defeating Manchester United in the Europa League Final and ending the long wait for silverware in North London.
The triumph also booked a golden ticket to the Champions League this season and landed Spurs a mega windfall in the process.
However, a 17th place finish in the English Premier League - despite the success in Europe's second tier competition - proved to much for Daniel Levy and club bosses as they decided to axe Ange after two seasons at the club.
They moved quickly and turned attentions to Brentford boss Frank and got a deal over the line with the Bees.
Now, the new Spurs boss has spoken for the first time since taking up his new position and he has shown his true colours over the man he has replaced.
Speaking as part of an in-house interview, Frank said: "I think Ange has done something special. He'll forever be a legend in Tottenham.
"It's important to understand we all stand on the shoulders of others.
"I'm going in on the foundation Ange built, and his coaching staff, and I'm very humble about that.
"I'll do my very best to continue the great work he put in.
"The feeling, the excitement, the joy and the happiness in the fans' faces, the pictures were 'wow'.
"Hopefully, we can create more of those moments. That will be the ultimate dream: to do that and build on that."
Tottenham kick off the new season at home to Burnley but before that EPL showdown they have the small matter of fighting PSG in the Super Cup with more silverware on the line before the campaign even gets up and running.
Ange has already been linked with a quick-fire return to the dugout in Saudi as he ponders his next steps.
