Brentford next manager odds: New favourites revealed as Tottenham close in on Thomas Frank
JUSTIN COCHRANE is favourite for the Brentford job. That's according to the latest odds from talkSPORT BET, who've installed Cochrane at 4/7 to replace Thomas Frank at the Gtech Community Stadium. Frank, who took over at Brentford in 2018, looks increasingly likely to join Tottenham following their decision to sack Ange Postecoglou. The Dane, 51, guided Brentford into the Premier League, winning the Championship play-off final at Wembley in 2021. But reports suggest his seven-year stay is close to ending with Spurs set to make a formal approach in the coming days. Brentford would be entitled to compensation for Frank, with sources suggesting it will cost upwards of £10million to get him before his contract expires in 2027. With those inside Tottenham reportedly "positive" that a deal can be struck - Brentford will have to begin the task of searching for his replacement? But who are the leading candidates? talkSPORT BET have Cochrane as the early frontrunner at 4/7. Cochrane, 43, is currently an assistant coach at Brentford and was recently appointed to a dual role with England's senior men's team under Thomas Tuchel. A former player who retired in 2013, he began his coaching career at Tottenham, working with young talents like Noni Madueke and Kyle Walker-Peters. He later joined the FA, progressing from England U16s to U17s head coach. In 2021, he became Manchester United's head of player development, playing a key role in their FA Youth Cup win featuring future stars Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo. Cochrane joined Brentford in 2022. Kieran McKenna is next in the betting markets at 7/2, with a big jump to third-favourite Danny Rohl at 8/1. Michael Carrick is priced at 12/1 followed by several high-profile bosses including the likes of Steven Gerrard, Sean Dyche, Edin Terzic, Marco Rose and Gary O'Neil.
