Overview

  • In his first public address as manager, Frank emphasised that Tottenham will prioritise bravery, high aggressivity and an attacking mindset next season.
  • Frank revealed he pursued the Spurs job partly to introduce “more risk” into his career, noting he has never been sacked in his coaching tenure.
  • He confirmed detailed talks with chairman Daniel Levy, CEO Vinai Venkatesham and technical director Johan Lange have secured him time to execute his long-term vision.
  • Frank’s debut on the touchline comes this Saturday in a preseason friendly at Reading, marking his first chance to work with the full squad.
  • His opening test for silverware will be the UEFA Super Cup against Paris St-Germain on August 13, offering an early gauge of his new project’s potential.
