Thomas Frank looks set to become the next Tottenham Hotspur manager, and now it has been revealed that the 51-year-old has made a demand from Daniel Levy during talks, with the club granting his request.
A new manager is set to take charge of Tottenham Hotspur in the coming days, following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou on Friday.
Sustained success remains the objective at N17, as Tottenham have struggled for consistency in recent years, having appointed and sacked fifteen different managers since 2001.
A strong warning has already been issued to the next Spurs manager by former boss Tim Sherwood, who was also dismissed by Daniel Levy, with Sherwood urging the incoming man to gain full clarity on what the club truly wants out of the project.
Thomas Frank makes one demand from Daniel Levy during talks
Thomas Frank is on the verge of becoming the next Tottenham Hotspur manager, after productive discussions with Daniel Levy in recent days led to an agreement.
Tottenham are now expected to trigger the £10 million release clause in Frank’s Brentford contract, which would allow them to finalise the appointment, with Brentford understood to be willing to let Thomas Frank move on.
TBR Football have now revealed what the Brentford manager demanded during talks with the Spurs chairman.
According to the report, while Frank does not expect to have the final say on all transfers, he does want to be involved in the decision-making process, and Tottenham have agreed to those terms.
Spurs board fully convinced by Thomas Frank ahead of other candidates
While it was reported that Daniel Levy was never entirely convinced about appointing Ange Postecoglou, TBR Football has made it clear that the opposite is true when it comes to Thomas Frank.
Among a shortlist that included Marco Silva, Mauricio Pochettino and Roberto De Zerbi, it is Frank who has left the strongest impression on Levy, with the report stating that it was not even close.
Graeme Bailey added: “Daniel Levy has been set on Thomas Frank for weeks – he has done a lot of work on several options, from bringing Pochettino back, to Marco Silva, to Roberto De Zerbi, but the Brentford boss has been so impressive, in the end, it has not been close.
“I am told there has been little doubt in Levy’s mind that Frank is the right man for quite a while and his talks with him only confirmed his opinion.”
