Tottenham have confirmed the appointment of Thomas Frank from Brentford. The 51-year-old Dane replaces Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked despite winning the Europa League final last month, and has been handed a contract until the summer of 2028.

Frank spent seven years in charge of Brentford, guiding the Bees into the Premier League in 2021. He's since established the club as a top-flight side with finishes of 13th, ninth, 16th and 10th respectively. In a released statement, Spurs said Frank had a "proven track record" from his previous jobs.

"Thomas has extensive experience in English football having joined Brentford in 2016 - since becoming one of the longest-serving current managers in the Premier League," the statement read. "During his time at Brentford he transformed the club, moving them up from the Championship to an established Premier League side, consistently and significantly outperforming expectations for an extended period of time.

"In Thomas we are appointing one of the most progressive and innovative head coaches within the game. He has a proven track record in player and squad development and we look forward to him leading the team as we prepare for the season ahead."

They also confirmed four other appointments, with three figures following Frank from Brentford. Justin Cochrane, initially deemed a contender to replace the ex-Brondby man at the Gtech Community Stadium, will again serve as his assistant.

Chris Haslam has also come on board as head of performance and first team assistant coach, and Joe Newton will be the new first team coach analyst. Andreas Georgson has come from Manchester United as another assistant coach.

Frank's maiden season at Spurs will see him lead a side in the Champions League for the first time. Despite their 17th-place finish in the Premier League, the Europa League glory under Postecoglou secured a spot in UEFA's elite competition.

In March, Frank signed a new deal at Brentford to keep him at the club until 2027. Tottenham have reportedly paid their London rivals a fee of around £10million to buy him out of his contract.
