Tottenham Hotspur is speeding up the appointment of a new head coach after the replacement of coach Enze Postecoglou.

According to multiple local reports after news of Postecoglou's replacement, Brentford boss Thomas Frank is being considered a strong candidate for Postecoglou. Tottenham are currently working on finalizing negotiations with Brentford to recruit the manager.

Multiple media outlets, including The Athletic in England, said on the 10th (Korea Standard Time) 'Tottenham has contacted Brentford directly to appoint Frank, and the club hopes to reach an agreement within the next 48 hours," he reported. The BBC also reported that 'Tottenham have begun negotiations with Brentford to bring Frank in after Postecoglou's dismissal.

European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano also said Tottenham's appointment of Frank is in the final stages.

There is only one work left. How much Tottenham, which brings coach Frank, will pay Brentford a penalty. The BBC has the right to request a penalty for sending Frank. Tottenham are expected to cost more than 10 million pounds (about 18.5 billion won) to terminate Frank's contract to accompany Brentford by 2027. If Frank takes over as Tottenham manager, the compensation may vary depending on how many staff he will bring in.

The Athletic also "The relationship between the two clubs is smooth, and negotiations are centered around the size of the coaching staff to be brought along with Frank's release costs."," he said.

Coach Frank, who is 51 this year, has led Brentford since 2018 and promoted the team to the Premier League for the first time in 74 years. Despite limited resources, he demonstrated leadership by maintaining stable performance based on excellent tactical operation and organizational power. In particular, he was praised for his tactical flexibility and practical soccer that did not lose ground against the strong team. As a result, Brentford have established themselves as a competitive mid-table team in the Premier League.

Coach Frank also has ties to Korean soccer. He directly recruited defender Kim Ji-soo, who stood out in the Korean national team by age, to Brentford in 2023. Kim Ji-soo became Korea's youngest Premier Leaguer in December last year under the guidance of coach Frank over the past two years.

Based on his experience coaching Kim Ji-soo, Frank will meet Son Heung-min and Yang Min-hyuk. Given that Frank is a leader who can approach Korean players based on trust and understanding, we can expect him to work with the two players. In particular, if Yang Min-hyuk is highly valued as he has a good opinion on finding prospects, he can expect Tottenham's debut next season.

Frank is also one of the key players who will decide Son's future. Tottenham is currently in a position to allow Son Heung-min to sell if he makes an appropriate offer, but if Frank wants Son to stay, the club's position will be withdrawn.
