Daniel Levy reveals real reason why Tottenham replaced Ange Postecoglou with Thomas Frank

Ange Postecoglou was sacked even after winning the UEFA Europa League 2024-25 title

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has said that winning the UEFA Europa League is not enough and that they need to win the Premier League.

In an exclusive interview with Spurs’ in-house media, Levy spoke about their aspirations and why he, as well as chief executive officer Vinai Venkatesham, replaced Ange Postecoglou with Thomas Frank as the club’s head coach.

“You saw the outpouring of emotion with the parade [after Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final to win their first piece of silverware in 17 years]. It was just incredible. We’ve won a European trophy,” Levy said on the club’s official website.

“But it’s not enough. We want to win the Premier League. We want to win the Champions League.”

Venkatesham: Thomas is outstanding developer of young players

CEO Venkatesham said that Frank was the clear candidate to be named as Spurs‘ new head coach, as he explained why the Dane was appointed.

“We analysed in real detail, through our technical staff led by Johan [Lange, technical director], more than 30 candidates,” Venkatesham said.

“Thomas was absolutely the number one candidate.

“One of the things I’m really excited about is that he is an outstanding developer of young players. I really look forward to seeing what he can do with the squad that we have here.”

Levy also spoke about Postecoglou and why he had no regrets appointing him in July 2023.
