Thomas Frank is close to becoming the next manager of Tottenham Hotspur and one of his former Brentford assistants has been discussing the move.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frank has spoken to Tottenham<\/a>\u00a0about replacing\u00a0Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked<\/a>\u00a0despite helping guide the North London club to their first major trophy in 17 years.<\/p>\n

The Brentford coach could now be tasked with helping Spurs climb the Premier League table next season following their disastrous campaign in which they ended up in 17th.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the potential move to the Lilywhites, one of his former assistant coaches has revealed the Tottenham joke they used to make at the Gtech Community Stadium.<\/p>\n

Thomas Frank\u2019s<\/a> former assistant coach at Brentford, Riemer, claims that the 51-year-old deserves to join Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The current Denmark national team coach also believes that what he has done in coaching is unlike anything Danish football has seen before.<\/p>\n\nSeason<\/td>\nMatches<\/td>\nWon<\/td>\nDrawn<\/td>\nLost<\/td>\nPoints<\/td>\nPlacement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n24\/25<\/td>\n38<\/td>\n16<\/td>\n8<\/td>\n14<\/td>\n56<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n23\/24<\/td>\n38<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n9<\/td>\n19<\/td>\n39<\/td>\n16<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n22\/23<\/td>\n38<\/td>\n15<\/td>\n14<\/td>\n9<\/td>\n59<\/td>\n9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n21\/22<\/td>\n38<\/td>\n13<\/td>\n7<\/td>\n18<\/td>\n46<\/td>\n13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Thomas Frank\u2019s Premier League record<\/p>\n

When asked about Frank making the move to a bigger club, Riemer\u00a0told Tipsbladet<\/a>: \u201cThere\u2019s probably not much you can compare in Danish football history where someone has done as well. So I hope for him that he gets that move (to a bigger club) one day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s to Tottenham or somewhere else, we\u2019ll have to see. But he deserves it. I don\u2019t know where it stands, but\u00a0I hope so for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Riemer\u00a0worked as an assistant coach to Frank from 2018 to 2022, in which the pair helped Brentford to secure promotion to the Premier League and then keep them there.<\/p>\n

Riemer has also revealed how the pair used to joke at Brentford about them moving to Tottenham, given the fact that his favourite football team was the North London giants.<\/p>\n

The 46-year-old left Brentford after being offered the head coach role at Belgian club, Anderlecht, before making the switch to the Danish national team.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI will say that Tottenham has always been my favourite club, and at Brentford, we always joked that if we were to move on from Brentford, we would go to Tottenham. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo now we have to see if he calls, but no. I am in a good place here, and I am staying here.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Mail<\/a>, Frank is hoping to bring his own backroom staff with him to North London having seen all of Postecoglou\u2019s former staff also sacked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thomas Frank is close to becoming the next manager of Tottenham Hotspur and one of his former Brentford…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":167996,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[162,94,79,19189,201,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-167995","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-english-premier-league","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-thomas-frank","12":"tag-tottenham-hotspur","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114648640724938317","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=167995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167995\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/167996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=167995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=167995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
