Tottenham Hotspur targets Brentford's Thomas Frank as new manager
Thomas Frank is set to quit Brentford for Tottenham Hotspur in the next couple of days.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank is the man Tottenham have targeted to replace Ange Postecoglou, according to multiple reports on Monday.
Postecoglou was dismissed after two seasons in charge on Friday despite ending Spurs' 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League last month.
Frank, who has been in charge of the Bees since 2018, led Brentford back to the top flight in 2021 after an absence of 74 years and has established the west London club in the Premier League.
Hiring the Dane, whose contract runs until 2027, would cost Spurs around £10 million in compensation.
The BBC reported that a formal approach from Tottenham is expected in the coming days.

Man Utd raise profit forecast despite turbulent season
MANCHESTER - Manchester United on Friday raised its estimate for annual core profit to between £180 million and £190 million after a run to the final of the Europa League boosted club coffers. The adjusted EBITDA figures (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation), which exclude items such as profits on player sales and finance costs, are up from an earlier projection of between £145 million and £160 million. Ruben Amorim's side reached the Europa League final, where they lost 1-0 to Tottenham. But United endured their worst top-flight campaign in more than 50 years, finishing an embarrassing 15th in the table. Nevertheless, driven by the Europa League run, United's total revenue increased 17.4 percent to £160.5 million in the quarter to March 31 from a year previously. Matchday revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was £44.5 million, an increase of more than 50 percent, due to more home games. Total operating costs were down 20.4 percent, sparked by a reduction in the wage bill due to United's involvement in the Europa League instead of the Champions League, plus the January loan exits of Marcus Rashford and Antony. A redundancy programme affecting non-playing staff, which began last year under minority owner Jim Ratcliffe, also helped cut costs. Chief executive Omar Berrada said in a statement that there was a "clear expectation of improvement" next season. "We were proud to reach the final of the UEFA Europa League but ultimately we were disappointed to finish as runner-up in Bilbao," he said. "We had a difficult season in the Premier League, which we all know fell below our standards and we have a clear expectation of improvement next season." Amorim has started what is expected to be a significant squad rebuild at Old Trafford that will likely involve several high-profile arrivals and the exits of some key players. United have acted quickly during this month's transfer window. They agreed the £62.5 million signing of Wolves forward Matheus Cunha and are reported to have a firm interest in Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo.

'Kaizer Chiefs boss Nabi is the Pep Guardiola of Africa'
Some managers hold a special allure. Is Kaizer Chiefs boss Nasreddine Nabi one of them? It sounds like it. Although Kaizer Chiefs endured a mostly frustrating campaign, they did end their long trophy drought by lifting the Nedbank Cup. To make it sweeter, they beat Orlando Pirates to do so. Nasreddine Nabi's next challenge will be to turn this side into legitimate title contenders. After all, this is a man who won back-to-back trebles in Tanzania. His trophy record and managerial aura led one reader on The South African to call him 'The Pep Guardiola of Africa', because he can also attract players to believe in his projects. Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi. Image: @KaizerChiefs/X Feisal Salum chipped in with an impressive 19 goals for Azam FC during the 2023-2024 campaign. That followed a glittering spell with Young Africans, where the talented playmaker collected consecutive trebles. A proven winner, Salum has 41 caps and four goals for his nation. Zanzibar-born star Salum hasn't replicated last season's form for Azam FC this time around. His last goal for the club came back in December 2024, and his side sits third in the Tanzanian Premier League, a massive 16 points adrift of leaders Young Africans.
