Football Daily | Thomas Frank and the Risks of Overambition at Tottenham 2025 - SCCG Management

As the anticipation continues for Thomas Frank to be named Tottenham Hotspur’s new manager, Football Daily ponders the reason for the delay. Reports on Sunday indicated that personal terms between the Dane and Daniel Levy have mostly been settled, a £10m compensation for Brentford was agreed upon, and the remaining issue is how many of Frank’s coaching staff will accompany him. Despite holding Keith Andrews – who has become a notable set-piece coach in recent months – in high regard, it seems unlikely that the former Ireland international’s inclusion in any exit package would be a deal-breaker.

“The level will increase immediately once we are playing against Portugal or Spain. We will rise to the occasion. This will come. It will bring out the very best in us,” said Thomas Tuchel, seemingly foreshadowing future challenges.

Following Football Daily’s recent piece discussing how Cristiano Ronaldo’s ego affects Portugal’s performance, readers anticipate recognition of the team’s Nations League victory. Perhaps examining how a 40-year-old Scotland captain, for example, would be perceived if he led his country to a tournament final victory over England, scoring eight goals, including one in the final and the winner against Germany in the semi-final.
