'Opposite of Postecoglou' - what could Spurs expect from 'chef' Frank?

Thomas Frank is the second -longest-serving current Premier League manager in English football's top-flight behind Manchester City's Pep Guardiola.

Tottenham Hotspur have closed the door on the Ange Postecoglou era and are bidding to replace him with the Dane who established Brentford in the Premier League after winning promotion from the Championship in 2021 .

Spurs have spent Â254 m on players and received Â183 m in sales - a net spend ofÂ71m.

Frank has been described as one of the game's more adaptive coaches.

The Tottenham boss has been in charge of Brentford since taking over at the end of last season .

The Bees have been known to play high-possession football, counter-attacks and direct football.

Frank likened managing in the Premier League to being a head chef in a high-end restaurant.

Former Tottenham midfielder Danny Murphy is another to praise Frank 's flexible approach.

Frank has put thousands of hours into viewing, observing, working out his way, his approach to people, says Lampard .

Lampard is now boss at Coventry City after Frank resigned from Manchester United .
