It was belatedly known that coach Enze Postecoglou, who won the title and was replaced by Tottenham, received Brentford's offer. Coincidentally, Brentford is the club where Tottenham's new manager Thomas Frank took the helm.
Global media The Athletic reported on the 9th (Korea time) "Brentford was found to have contacted former coach Anze Postecoglou, who recently left Tottenham, and offered to replace Thomas Frank."
If it was done, it would have been an unusual situation in which the coaches of the two teams were exchanged. Frank left Brentford and signed a three-year contract with Tottenham, and Postecoglou was replaced and then nominated for Brentford's next managerial position.
Postecoglou took over at Tottenham in June 2023 and ranked fifth in the Premier League in his first season.
However, in the second season, he suffered from massive injuries. He finished 17th in the English Premier League (EPL). Nevertheless, he beat Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League final. He became the coach who gave Tottenham the trophy for the first time in 17 years.
The joy was also brief. Postecoglou was dismissed two weeks after winning. Some fans were dissatisfied with the club's decision to dismiss the winning coach.
Since then, Brentford have held informal discussions with Postecoglou, but they have not led to official proceedings. In the end, Brentford appointed Keith Andrews, a coach, as their manager.
Keith Andrews joined Brentford as set-piece coach last year and worked under Frank for a year. He was chosen by the club due to his high understanding of the team, and signed a three-year contract last month.
Regarding the appointment of Andrews, Brendford said there is always a certain level of risk in the appointment of a supervisor. Rather, bringing in a manager with a successful career at another club may be a more dangerous option"Because the factors that made them successful may not work in other environments. We are well aware of what kind of leader Andrews is. This appointment is rather a very low-risk option."
