Brentford boss Thomas Frank is top candidate to replace Ange Postecoglou after ruthless Tottenham sacked trophy-winning manager

Thomas Frank is shaping up as a leading candidate to replace Ange Postecoglou after Tottenham sacked the head coach who brought home their first trophy for 17 years.

Spurs and Brentford boss Frank have held talks through intermediaries to explore the idea.

Postecoglou, after two years in the job, has now been sacked despite winning the Europa League and clinching a place in next season’s Champions League.

The 59-year-old Australian is back from a post-season holiday in Greece to find speculation still swirling.

Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy launched his succession plan before the end of a terrible Premier League campaign, in which his team finished 17th with 38 points.

Many Spurs fans who wanted Postecoglou out as they clocked up a record 22 league defeats have relented since the Europa League glory but there has been no clarity from inside the boardroom.

Levy has visited the Bahamas since the season ended, where he was thought to have met with members of the Lewis family, the club’s majority shareholders.

Other alternatives have been sounded out by Tottenham, including Fulham boss Marco Silva, but Frank is emerging as perhaps the strongest contender.

He has worked for nine years at Brentford and been in charge since Dean Smith left for Aston Villa in October 2018 and there are two years remaining on his contract.
