Tottenham Appoint Thomas Frank After Europa League Success Fails to Offset Poor League Form

Chairman Daniel Levy says change was needed to match Tottenham’s lofty title ambitions

Overview

  • Daniel Levy said that despite winning the Europa League, Tottenham’s 17th-place Premier League finish made a managerial change necessary.
  • Ange Postecoglou ended Tottenham’s 17-year trophy drought but oversaw only six home wins and a club-worst haul of 22 league defeats last season.
  • The club evaluated more than 30 candidates before swiftly naming Brentford’s Thomas Frank as manager.
  • Frank praised his predecessor as a club legend and pledged an aggressive, front-footed style with a focus on youth development.
  • Tottenham’s hierarchy, including Levy, CEO Vinai Venkatesham and technical director Johan Lange, now aligns behind Frank’s mandate to challenge for Premier League and Champions League titles.
