Tottenham Identify £4.5M/Year “Class Act” Coach as Possible Postecoglou Successor

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is facing intense scrutiny following the team’s slide to 15th place in the Premier League standings. Their recent 3-2 loss to Everton marked Spurs’ fifth defeat in six league matches and 12th overall this season.

Despite mounting a second-half comeback at Goodison Park, Tottenham’s poor defensive record and Postecoglou’s tactical inflexibility have drawn criticism. The Australian coach has also been hampered by injuries to key players like Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson.

While reports suggest Postecoglou’s job is not in immediate danger, Tottenham are reportedly considering contingency plans. Brentford manager Thomas Frank has emerged as a top target should the club decide to make a change.

Frank, who earns £4.5 million annually, has impressed during his tenure at Brentford. He led the Bees to promotion in 2021 and achieved a top-10 finish last season despite limited resources. His ability to maximize results on a tight budget has caught Tottenham’s attention.

The Danish coach was previously considered to replace Antonio Conte before Postecoglou’s appointment. With Frank expected to leave Brentford after this season, he could be attainable for Spurs. Praised as a “class act” by pundits, Frank may offer the steady hand Tottenham needs to stabilize their form.

While Postecoglou retains support for now, upcoming fixtures against Leicester, Manchester United and Manchester City could prove decisive for his future. Frank’s track record of overachievement on a budget makes him an appealing option should Tottenham opt for a managerial change.
