Tottenham are said to be looking in the Premier League for their Ange Postecoglou replacement.
It’s claimed elsewhere that Spurs have already held talks with Frank, who has consistently done a superb job with a modest budget at Brentford over recent years. Graeme Bailey told The Boot Room: “Frank has always been in the mix – I am told he was one of the first names on Daniel Levy’s list. But in the last two weeks, he is the name that is coming up from so many different sources, it just can’t be ignored and there is little push back. Brentford are not saying much either – I believe they really fear they could be losing him.”
Frank in love with Brentford story
Frank spoke about his pride in the work done at Brentford over recent years after guiding them to a top-half finish. He told the Brentford club website: “It was a fantastic season. We had the positive of finishing in the top 10. It was the smallest of margins from finishing ninth, if we had one more point or three more goals then we would have done that and equalled our best-ever Premier League position.
“We always wanted to thrive and try to be an asset to the Premier League, because if you only want to avoid relegation, only want to survive, it’s so negatively loaded. We are positive, we believe. If you have those two things, then anything is possible. Of course, then we need to back the nice wording with the hard work, the alignment, the strategy, the processes.
“If you merge all of that together, then it’s possible to do what we’ve done. All Brentford fans should be extremely proud of their club and what we have done over the last many years; it’s quite unique. I think we’re one of the best stories in England over the last five years."
Postecoglou wants stay
Postecoglou is patiently waiting for Tottenham’s decision, likely getting some much-needed holiday time in the meantime. Speaking after the Europa League final, he confirmed he wants to stay in North London.
“I do (want to stay),” he told TNT Sports. “I don’t feel like I’ve completed a job here, we’re still building. The moment I accepted the role I had one thing in my head, and that was to win something- more than anything else. We’ve done that now and I want to build on it.”
