Tottenham Hotspur’s new manager and coaching team are in place, with the club’s hierarchy wasting little time in replacing Ange Postecoglou and his staff.
Tottenham have brought Thomas Frank to N17 following his impressive work at Premier League rivals Brentford over the years.
Frank is likely to be a much more flexible manager for Tottenham, in contrast to Postecoglou’s often uncompromising desire to play a high line.
In addition, Frank has brought a number of coaches over from Brentford, including Justin Cochrane, who was previously on the books at Tottenham.
Cochrane has now sent a message to the Spurs fanbase, and supporters are buzzing over what he said.
Tottenham fans welcome Justin Cochrane back to N17
Cochrane took to X on Friday night to express his delight at being back at Tottenham after starting his coaching career at White Hart Lane.
“Well what can I say, back to where I started in 2009,” Cochrane wrote. “I’m delighted to be joining Spurs.
“I can’t wait to get started. The club gave me my 1st job and now after 16 years of working very hard, getting qualified and making an impact wherever I’ve been.
“I’m back. LET’S GO!”
Fans loved Cochrane’s message, with one replying: “Congratulations, Justin. Speaking to staff yesterday so many excited to see you back.”
Another said: “Welcome back Justin, delighted to have you back with us. Get ready for pre-season in Korea.
“Some hard grafting to do – give Mbeumo a text too!”
The praise kept coming, with one supporter writing: “Welcome back… thank you for choosing us. Looking forward to building something special.”
Another said: “Hopefully you can develop this crop of young talented and exciting players like you’ve done many times before COYS.”
Another wrote: “Welcome back, Justin. Some young talents are about to be coached into world beaters.”
Why Justin Cochrane could be great for Tottenham’s young stars
Cochrane previously worked at Tottenham’s academy and has also worked in the England setup, from the Under-15s all the way up to the senior setup with Thomas Tuchel.
While at Spurs, Cochrane helped oversee the development of the likes of Noni Madueke, Kyle Walker-Peters, Japhet Tanganga, Oliver Skipp and Josh Onomah.
In the England setup, Cochrane helped nurture the likes of Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento, among many others.
Meanwhile, his time at Manchester United saw the club win FA Youth Cup for the first time since 2011, and the side in the final included Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.
