Brentford are now making contingency plans amidst fears that Tottenham Hotspur may swoop for their head coach Thomas Frank.
While Tottenham are yet to announce a decision on Ange Postecoglou’s future, reports over recent weeks indicate that the search is already underway in N17 for his replacement.
It has been claimed that Spurs have now held direct talks with Thomas Frank over a move from Brentford to North London.
It has been alleged that Frank is keen on a switch to Tottenham, with the Dane ready to test himself at a ‘big six’ club after seven years at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Brentford identify Thomas Frank’s replacement
Football Insider have claimed the Bees are aware of Tottenham’s interest in their head coach and there are growing fears at the club that the Lilywhites will be able to lure the 51-year-old.
As a result, the West London club are now putting contingency plans in place and are laying the groundwork to quickly replace Thomas Frank if Spurs do get their man.
Brentford have reportedly set their sights on appointing former Spurs academy coach Kieran McKenna as Dane’s potential replacement.

McKenna is rated highly by the Bees recruitment team and despite the Englishman overseeing Ipswich Town’s relegation from the Premier League after just one season, they believe he would be the ‘ideal’ person to take over from Frank should he depart.
Why Tottenham are keen on appointing Frank
It was reported a few days ago that the Tottenham hierarchy are impressed by Frank’s ability to develop players, which is why he is their top choice.
However, it has also emerged that there are some concerns at Spurs about Frank and the other candidates to replace Postecoglou.
It was pointed out recently by Alasdair Gold that Tottenham may find it difficult to sell the appointment of Frank or other mid-table managers to Spurs fans, particularly since it would entail sacking the club’s first trophy-winning manager in 17 years.
