Thomas Frank leading race to replace Ange Postecoglou
Mauricio Pochettino pushed back against suggestions he is a candidate to take over the newly-vacant Tottenham Hotspur managerial position, telling reporters on Saturday that it was “not realistic” for him to leave his current role as US men’s national team manager.
Pochettino had been considered a possible candidate to replace Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked by Spurs on Friday despite him leading the club to Europa League glory – the club’s first trophy in 17 years. However, Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League, their lowest position since 1977. The Guardian understands that Brentford’s Thomas Frank is the No 1 target for Spurs. He has a £10m release clause in his contract and would be open to an official approach.
