Spurs confident deal can be struck in next 48 hours
Personal terms already agreed with 51-year-old Dane
Tottenham have approached Brentford over appointing Thomas Frank as their new head coach. The Dane is the club’s No 1 target to replace Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked on Friday, and there is confidence that a deal will be struck in the next 48 hours.
Negotiations are due to take place on the cost of recruiting Frank, who has a £10m release clause, and his backroom staff. The 51-year-old Dane wants to join Spurs after almost seven years at Brentford, with terms already in place.
Tottenham have moved swiftly after parting company with Postecoglou, who lost his job despite winning the Europa League last month and ending the club’s 17-year wait for a major trophy. The Australian’s fate was decided after the chairman, Daniel Levy, looked past the side’s European run and focused on a dreadful Premier League campaign.
