'The time has come' - Thomas Frank's touching message after becoming Spurs boss
Thomas Frank was confirmed as the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night, electing to swap London rivals Brentford for the Europa League winners after seven years at the helm of the Bees Thomas Frank insists Brentford will always have 'a big piece of my heart' as he begins life in charge of Premier League rivals Tottenham. Spurs announced Frank as their new head coach on Thursday night on a three-year deal. It ended Frank's time at Brentford, where he won 136 of his 317 matches across a seven-year spell, with the Danish coach able to lead the club into the Premier League for the first time in 2021 via Championship play-off success at Wembley. He will now be handed cash and the keys to the kingdom in north London, in a bid to vastly improve on last season's 17th place finish in the Premier League, which ultimately led to Ange Postecoglou's exit. In an emotional message posted on Brentford's official club website on Friday, Frank said: 'The time has come for me to move on. But, even as I leave, I know I have left a big piece of my heart at Brentford, not just at the football club but with the community and, of course, the incredible and loyal supporters. 'I want to extend my profound gratitude to the club for giving me the chance to pursue my dreams and for everyone involved who made the journey such a memorable one. For my family and I, it has been a privilege to be allowed to be part of such a special community – it's an experience and adventure that we will cherish for life. So, thank you. 'Whatever we have achieved, we have achieved together, and our success is built on unity, spirit, courage and ambition at every level of the club and amongst the fans. 'Everybody has contributed, and every contribution has been invaluable. I am not just leaving a football club, I am saying goodbye to friends whose support through good and bad times I will carry with me always. 'I would like to say a special word of thanks to Matthew Benham. His trust and friendship have meant so much and the fact he gave me a chance in English football means I will always owe him a debt of gratitude. Thank you, Matt. 'So, while this is a goodbye, I hope the relationships I have built with everybody will be lasting ones and, of course, we will meet again in the wonderful world of football. Thank you, Thomas.' Spurs announced on Friday they would visit Luton for a pre-season friendly on July 26. Further fixtures in addition to Tottenham's tour of Asia towards the end of July are still to be announced, but Frank's first fixture in charge will currently be at Kenilworth Road.

Tonight's Cardiff City news as Barry-Murphy told what he must do and assistant coach candidate emerges
Tonight's Cardiff City news as Barry-Murphy told what he must do and assistant coach candidate emerges These are the Cardiff City stories making headlines on Friday, June 13. Brian Barry-Murphy is set to become Cardiff City manager (Image:) These are your Cardiff City headlines on Friday, June 13. Goodman: Barry-Murphy must retain best players Brian Barry-Murphy is closing in on the Cardiff City job after talks progressed with the 46-year-old and his employers Leicester City. Barry-Murphy, whose most recent job has been as a coach with Ruud van Nistelrooy at the King Power Stadium, is now set to take the reins at Cardiff City Stadium in his first managerial position since his time with Rochdale. When he is unveiled, EFL expert Don Goodman believes Barry-Murphy has an immediate priority with the Bluebirds. In an interview with Football League World, Goodman revealed what the incoming boss must do if Cardiff want to get promoted at the first time of asking and urged them to follow an example. Article continues below 'I think the biggest thing is keeping the best players at the football club,' Goodman told Football League World. 'I think I'd be taking inspiration from Birmingham City. 'On reflection, you could argue it was the best thing for Birmingham City to push the reset button and get relegated. All of a sudden, instead of losing a lot of games on a regular basis, they started winning on a very regular basis and the feel-good factor came back. 'So, that's the key for whoever takes over the reins at Cardiff City. 'There are some talented players within their ranks, certainly at League One level, and it's about persuading them to stay and getting the best out of them.' Cardiff will see seven first-team players leave this summer when their contracts expire; Aaron Ramsey, Jamilu Collins, Raheem Conte, Anwar El Ghazi, Kieron Evans, Dimitrios Goutas and Yakou Meïte will all depart at the end of the month.

"I thank everyone at the club over the years who's helped me get to where I am today I'll forever be grateful for what this club has given me, and I wish the club the very best in the future! Now I'm excited for the change and challenge ahead." Loanee Will Alves also penned a note to supporters as he returns to parent club Leicester. Alves said: 'Bluebirds, I'm sorry the season didn't turn out how we wanted but I just want to say thank you. From the players, to the staff & to the fans for your constant support, thank you for making me feel so at home from the very first time I played, to the last.
