LONDON: Tottenham hired Thomas Frank as head coach on Thursday after the Danish coach ended his nearly decade-long stay at Brentford. The 51-year-old Frank will replace Ange Postecoglou, who was fired last week despite leading Tottenham to its first trophy in 17 years with a win over Manchester United in the Europa League final.

Tottenham Hotspur have expressed an interest in signing Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford in a move that could derail Manchester United’s hopes of recruiting the forward.
