Thomas Frank Tipped for Spurs Job After Postecoglou's Shock Exit
So, here's the latest twist in the Tottenham Hotspur saga that has fans scratching their heads and pundits fuming: Ange Postecoglou is out. Yes, sacked. Just sixteen days after ending the club’s 17-year wait for silverware by winning the Europa League, he’s been shown the door. It's the kind of decision that makes you question what truly matters in football anymore.
Let’s break it down. Postecoglou delivered something Tottenham have been starved of for almost two decades—glory. That iconic European night in Bilbao wasn’t just about beating Manchester United; it was about rekindling the spirit of a club that lives by the mantra "the game is about glory." But it seems that under chairman Daniel Levy, glory doesn’t quite carry the weight it used to. The message is clear: emotion and triumph are great for the fans, but cold, calculated decisions are what guide the boardroom.
And now, in the hunt for a replacement, Thomas Frank of Brentford has emerged as a front-runner. Multiple reports suggest he’s already had conversations with Levy, despite his £10 million release clause. He’s admired for the strong, data-driven project he’s built at Brentford—a system that, ironically, is everything Spurs are lacking right now. The only catch? Spurs are in upheaval, and replicating that Brentford success in North London may not be so straightforward.
Marco Silva of Fulham is also in the frame, apparently a more "affordable" choice at £6 million. He’s got fans inside the club, and the idea of a more financially efficient appointment seems to align with the pragmatism we’re seeing from Levy’s camp.

But let’s not ignore the elephant in the room. Ange didn’t fail. Yes, the league form was dismal—17th place, 22 defeats, no question. But he achieved what even José Mourinho, Antonio Conte, and Mauricio Pochettino could not: he won a European trophy. He gave Spurs fans a moment to believe again. For that, he was thanked… and then discarded.
The fallout has been swift. Club captain Son Heung-min has publicly called Postecoglou a "legend," and there’s talk of unrest in the dressing room. Alan Shearer simply tweeted, “What a stupid game football is.” And you know what? He’s not wrong.
Postecoglou leaves behind a legacy of belief, a reminder of what Spurs could be. But the club’s decision suggests they’d rather chase structure over sentiment, balance sheets over banners. It’s the modern football paradox—where winning isn't enough unless it comes dressed in Premier League consistency and top-four credentials.
So now we wait. Will Levy bring in Thomas Frank and hand him the freedom to build? Or will Spurs, once again, end up a club stuck between ambition and instability?
One thing’s for sure—Postecoglou may be gone, but his impact won’t be forgotten any time soon. And as for his successor? Well, good luck filling those shoes.
