Tottenham Hotspur appoint Thomas Frank to replace sacked Europa League-winning boss Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham Hotspur have named Thomas Frank as their fifth permanent manager in six years with the Premier League club confirming they had hired the former Brentford boss on a three-year contract.

He replaces the sacked Ange Postecoglou.

The 51-year-old Dane, who has been in charge of Brentford since 2018 and established them in the top flight, will take charge of a club that will take part in next year’s Champions League after they won the Europa League last month in Bilbao.

“In Thomas we are appointing one of the most progressive and innovative head coaches within the game,” a club statement said on Thursday.
