The BBC reported on the 9th that Tottenham looked for a replacement after replacing manager Andrzej Postecoglou on the 7th, and Frank has emerged as a strong candidate. Tottenham will have to pay more than £10 million in compensation to appoint Frank, who has a contract with Brentford until 2027.

Coach Frank is said to have promoted his team to the Premier League by winning the Championship Playoff in 2021 after taking the helm of Brentford in 2018, and has established himself as a stable top-flight club with a small budget. Brentford ranked 10th in the league this season, seven spots ahead of Tottenham, who finished 17th, and 18 points ahead. Coach Frank told the BBC in January that he will not stay at Brentford forever, adding that he may go to another club someday.

Frank is the second longest-serving manager in England's top division after Pep Guardiola of Manchester City. Frank had 54 wins in 152 matches with an average of 1.32 points per match. His steady performance with relatively small transfer funds is also drawing attention. BBC commentator Chris Sutton said, "Tottenham is a team with high expectations and the pressure on the coach is great. It is a big challenge for Frank, who has no experience in the Champions League." Former Tottenham midfielder Danny Murphy said, "Brentford has flexibly changed his tactics based on physical strength and intensive play. Frank knows how to play in more diverse ways than any other team."

After playing for Denmark's youth team and Brønbü, Frank grew up as a coach without any professional experience. He adheres to the details of training, values the formation of relationships with players, and is considered to be the complete opposite of Post Coghlu due to his good tactical flexibility. BBC reported that Frank is an enthusiastic and humane leader and a coach who is ready to adapt quickly to new environments. Attention is focusing on what kind of philosophy he will play at Tottenham. Tottenham ranked 17th in the Premier League this season, but won the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League next season.
