After opting to part ways with the man who ended their 17-year trophy drought, Tottenham Hotspur have pivoted to Brentford’s Thomas Frank.
Spurs have been forced to pay a pretty penny to release the Dane from his contract in west London, but they’re seemingly convinced in Frank’s ability to build on ‘that night in Bilbao’ and return the proud north London club towards the top of the Premier League table after a woeful domestic performance in 2024–25.
There’s reason to be optimistic about Frank, who worked wonders with a plucky Brentford side that could constantly evolve, survive and thrive under his watch. The Dane has a knack for maximising what he has at his disposal, and there’s no denying that Spurs’ playing personnel is superior to what he was working with at the Gtech despite his new club’s 17th-place finish last season.
Frank must be excited to work with this group of players, and there are several squad members bound to thrive under his watch. However, a few may soon be longing for the return of the loveable Australian.
Here are the winners and losers of Thomas Frank’s Tottenham’s appointment—with focus on the playing squad.
