Tottenham Hotspur have named former Liverpool goalkeeper coach Fabian Otte, 34, as the club’s new first team goalkeeper coach and one of four new appointments to Thomas Frank’s coaching staff.
Cameron Campbell, Matt Wells, Stuart Lewis and Dean Brill have also joined the Dane’s new-look backroom team.
Spurs announced last month that Justin Cochrane, Chris Haslam and Joe Newton had all followed Frank from Brentford, and set-piece specialist Andreas Georgson had joined from Manchester United.
Rob Burch, who was goalkeeper coach under Frank’s predecessor Ange Postecoglou, has left the club.
Wells will remain on the coaching staff as first team assistant coach, having been Postecoglou’s No 2 last season.
Campbell, who has previously worked as a youth coach at RB Leipzig, Rangers and Aberdeen, joins as first team individual development coach, while former under-18s boss Lewis is now first team academy transition coach – responsible for aiding the development and integration of youth players into the first team set-up.
Brill becomes first team assistant goalkeeping coach, working under Otte, having previously been head of academy goalkeeping at the club.
Otte left Liverpool last week after one season working under head coach Arne Slot as part of a shake up of the Dutchman’s backroom staff.
Brazil legend Taffarel also left Anfield, with Xavi Valero – previously on Rafa Benitez’s coaching staff at Liverpool – returning to the Merseyside club as the new head of first-team goalkeeper coaching.
Otte arrived at Liverpool in summer 2024 following spells with the U.S. men’s national team, Burnley and Borussia Monchengladbach.
Three members of Postecoglou’s backroom staff, Mile Jedinak, Nick Montgomery and Sergio Raimundo, left Spurs with the Australian, while Ryan Mason took the head coach’s job at West Bromwich Albion shortly before his dismissal.
