Tottenham waste no time replacing Ange Postecoglou reportedly agreeing a deal with Thomas Frank

Tottenham have wasted little time in replacing Ange Postecoglou, after sacking the Aussie on Friday they agreed a deal with his replacement less than 48 hours later.

Thomas Frank has agreed to become the new Tottenham manager.

The Sun understands that following talks over the weekend, the Brentford boss is close to becoming Ange Postecoglou’s replacement.

Frank, 51, wants to make the switch across London which will end his near-seven-year spell with the Bees.

It is now down to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to settle on a compensation package with G-Tech stadium chiefs.

Tottenham brutally sacked Postecoglou on Friday despite the Aussie ending their 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League last month.

And Levy is moving quickly to appoint the Dane, who guided Brentford to a 10th place Premier League finish this season.

Fulham manager Marco Silva and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola have been in the running but Frank is expected to become the fourth permanent Tottenham boss in the last four years.

Frank joined Brentford in 2018 and after promotion to the top-flight less than three years later, he has made them an established Prem club.

The Dane already wants to bring Bryan Mbeumo, 25, with him to North London with Spurs trying to hijack Manchester United’s proposed deal for the Cameroonian winger.

Although that could cost Levy up to $145million with a possible $20m deal for Frank, plus $125m for Mbuemo’s services.

That would test Tottenham’s financial power, especially as Mbeumo is thought to be demanding around $520,000 per week in wages, which would make him the club’s highest-paid player. But Spurs’ victory over United in Bilbao does mean they can offer him Champions League football.

Frank will also be tasked with a significant improvement in the Premier League following Tottenham’s worst ever finish. Despite Postecoglou’s European success, he oversaw a club-record 22 Prem defeats, which resulted in them coming 17th.
