What’s on Thomas Frank’s to-do list after taking charge at Tottenham?

Thomas Frank has been appointed as Tottenham’s new head coach.

Frank has left Brentford after an impressive seven-year spell and replaces Ange Postecoglou, who was dismissed two weeks after Europa League success following a 17th-placed finish in the Premier League.

Here, we take a look at the key early issues facing Frank at Spurs.

Gaffer, where to start.
Firstly, thank you for bringing me to this wonderful club that I now call my home. Your instant belief in me to not only sign me but make me the clubs vice captain & part of the leadership group from the get go is something I’ll always be thankful for.… pic.twitter.com/DrlWjX2o23

The volume of tributes paid to Postecoglou and the emotion behind them showed the strong connection built by the Australian in the Tottenham dressing room. Captain Son Heung-min hailed him as a “legend forever”, James Maddison was one of many to state how much they learned from him and Micky van de Ven admitted his dismissal was “strange”. More than a dozen of the squad expressed their gratitude to the Europa League-winning boss, which leaves Frank in a tricky position. However, the man-management of the Danish coach is one of his strongest skills and he will back himself to quickly win over a group hungry for more success. Frank did also previously try sign Archie Gray and Brennan Johnson at Brentford.
