Tottenham Lightning locks in the new head coach s target candidate, poaching Brentford tens of millions of pounds

According to several authoritative media such as the British Daily Telegraph, just a few days after the dismissal of meritorious coach Postkoglu, Tottenham Hotspur is close to reaching an agreement with Brentford to recruit the latter coach Frank. It is reported that the core compensation for the deal may be as high as £10 million and involves a "packaged" transfer of Frank's entire coaching team. Last week, Tottenham management made a controversial decision: Although Postkoglu led the team to historic UEFA Cup, the team's disastrous ranking of 17th in the Premier League eventually led to the Australian coach's disastrous dismissal. This move has caused mixed reviews among the fans, and some British media even revealed that some core players are "angry" at the club's decision to fire European heroes.

However, the club's senior executives showed efficient execution. After a quick assessment of the candidates, they targeted Brentford's Danish coach Frank. Frank has achieved remarkable results since taking over Brentford in 2018, especially in 2021, he led the team to successfully advance to the Super League and gained a foothold. His coaching ability is highly recognized by the Premier League. Sources revealed that Frank has made it clear to Brentford management that he will switch to a larger stage.

Although the two sides have not signed a final agreement, the negotiations have entered a deep stage, and Tottenham is optimistic about finalizing Frank in the short term. The biggest obstacle to trading is the high compensation. Brentford priced Frank with contracts close to £10 million. What's more complicated is that Tottenham hopes to poach the core members of Frank's trusted coaching team together, which will inevitably further push up the overall transfer cost.

The Tottenham Hotspur management is so eager to promote the coach selection process, and the core motivation comes from the UEFA Champions League qualification next season. It was precisely with the UEFA Champions League that Postkoglu led the team to return to the Champions League stage by "save the country on the curve". If Frank finally takes office, he will face double challenges. On the one hand, he needs to quickly integrate the team and improve his Premier League record; on the other hand, he needs to prove Tottenham's competitiveness in the Champions League that represents the highest level in Europe. There is really not much time left for the new coach to get in.
