It took awhile, but we finally got some Thomas Frank #content from Tottenham Hotspur. Nearly a week elapsed between the time Spurs announced that Frank was taking over as head coach from Ange Postecoglou and when we started seeing actual photos and videos of Frank wearing Tottenham apparel. That delay was reportedly due to the fact that Frank was still on vacation when the appointment took place, and it takes time to film and edit interviews and videos.
But we finally got it, and Frank’s first interview is in the header of this article. You may have seen this already, but if you haven’t, it’s absolutely worth watching. You get a sense of who Thomas Frank is in this video — his background, his methodology, the way he interacts with people, and the way he loves to collaborate. He also talks about his intention to create “attacking, front-foot football” at Spurs, which is exciting to hear.
Frank is intelligent, loquacious, and a forthright communicator. He’s not too far from Ange in that regard, but in a different way. Watching this video, I’m excited for the future.
