The north London club have reportedly agreed to meet Frank's 10 million pounds release clause, with negotiations nearing completion to bring the Dane and his backroom staff to Spurs, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Romano posted on X: "Thomas Frank will become new Spurs head coach, here we go! Agreement done with the manager on contract terms and staff, Brentford set to release Frank for fee in the region of 10 million pounds. He's the replacement for Ange Postecoglou."

Postecoglou's departure came after a turbulent 2024/25 Premier League campaign, where Spurs slumped to 17th, losing 22 of their 38 matches. Despite a severe injury crisis hampering their squad, the Australian's high-octane "Ange-ball" failed to deliver consistent results.

However, he bowed out on a high, securing Spurs' first major trophy in 17 years with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final. "When I reflect on my time as manager of Tottenham Hotspur, my overriding emotion is one of pride," Postecoglou said in a statement. "That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work."

Despite the European triumph, Spurs' chairman Daniel Levy and the board deemed the domestic collapse unacceptable, prompting a swift search for a successor. While names like Fulham's Marco Silva, Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, and Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner were considered, Frank emerged as the clear favourite.

His track record at Brentford, where he led the Bees to Premier League promotion in 2021 and a 10th-place finish last season, has earned him widespread admiration.

Brentford's attacking style and knack for developing talent, including stars like Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo, align with Spurs' youth-focused strategy under technical director Johan Lange.

Former Spurs midfielder Jamie O'Hara backed the move, highlighting Frank's credentials. "Frank has done a great job at Brentford with a modest budget," O'Hara said. "He deserves a chance at a ‘Big Six' club.

"Spurs are a big football club, playing in the Champions League next season, with a UEFA Super Cup to contest. It's time to move on from Postecoglou."

Brentford, aware of Frank's desire to join Spurs, have not stood in his way but insisted on a serious offer to match his release clause. Talks between the clubs have progressed smoothly, with Spurs optimistic about finalising the deal within days.

The 51-year-old's tactical flexibility, often switching between 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 formations, could suit Spurs' young squad, featuring talents like Brennan Johnson and Archie Gray, both of whom Frank previously targeted at Brentford.

Spurs fans now await Frank's arrival, with the Dane set to face a steep challenge. His first competitive match could be the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain on August 13, offering an immediate shot at silverware.

With Champions League football secured, Frank's ability to blend his pragmatic approach with Spurs' ambitions will be crucial in restoring their Premier League fortunes.
