Confirmation Daniel Levy has met with No 1 Tottenham manager target ‘multiple times’

Tottenham Hotspur are actively searching for a new head coach following the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou, and it’s now been revealed that chairman Daniel Levy has held multiple meetings with his top managerial target. The club is reportedly moving swiftly behind the scenes, laying the groundwork for a new era at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Postecoglou’s tenure came to an abrupt end on Friday evening, despite delivering Tottenham’s first trophy in 17 years. While his debut campaign brought promise – finishing fifth in the Premier League – his second season saw the team slump dramatically to 17th place, despite their triumph in European competition. That collapse in league form ultimately sealed his fate.

Although some believed that winning silverware might have granted Postecoglou a reprieve, the Spurs hierarchy took a broader view of the season’s trajectory. After careful evaluation, they decided a change was necessary. According to a report from GIVEMESPORT, the decision to part ways with the Australian had actually been in consideration for several months, driven by consistently underwhelming domestic performances and a loss of faith in his long-term project.

As the club looks toward the future, Brentford manager Thomas Frank has emerged as the leading candidate to take the reins. The Danish coach has been linked with the Spurs job on numerous occasions, and the latest reports suggest he has now become the clear frontrunner. Crucially, Frank is believed to have a release clause in his contract, which could smooth the path to North London.

Sources close to the club claim that Levy has already met with Frank on several occasions to discuss the possibility of him taking over. These repeated meetings point to serious interest from both sides and suggest that negotiations are advancing. While Frank’s own stance hasn’t been officially confirmed, the fact that he’s been willing to engage in multiple discussions strongly implies that he is at least open to the opportunity.

Frank, who has earned widespread praise for establishing Brentford as a competitive Premier League side, is thought to be intrigued by the idea of managing a top-six club with Champions League football on the horizon. Despite his success in England, the Danish manager has never led a team in a major European competition. The closest he came was during his time with Brøndby, where he reached the fourth round of Europa League qualifying in both the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons, but was unable to guide the team into the tournament proper.

A potential move to Spurs would represent a significant step up for Frank, both in terms of expectations and the scale of the challenge. However, his stock is high after guiding Brentford to back-to-back top-half finishes in the Premier League – a remarkable feat considering their limited resources. His tactical discipline, man-management skills, and ability to develop players have drawn admiration across the league.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are looking to rebuild after a turbulent period. Postecoglou’s departure marks yet another managerial change in a decade marked by instability in the dugout. The club is eager to restore consistency and progress, and Frank’s methodical approach and proven Premier League credentials make him an appealing candidate.

With Levy reportedly keen to secure his top target quickly, Spurs fans could soon see a new face leading their team into the 2025–26 campaign. All signs point toward Frank being at the front of the queue – and if both parties align, his arrival may not be far off.
