Spurs simultaneously had their best and worst season in years, winning the Europa League but finishing 17th in the table.
Frank was full of praise for his predecessor, who he reiterated is a club “legend” for that night in Bilbao during his first press conference, but he will be keen to build on that trophy triumph while moving on from dismal domestic results.
Adaptable tactics
Postecoglou was frequently criticised for his reluctance to dial down his all-or-nothing Angeball tactics regardless of circumstances or game state, at least until the Europa League’s latter stages and final.
Spurs will be too, but “only when we need to be”, according to Frank.

— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) July 18, 2025More than once, Frank stressed the importance of adhering to Tottenham’s To Dare Is To Do maxim. Just don’t expect them to be quite so daring.
An overhaul of the medical department has taken place this summer, and while Frank was eager not to get into last year’s injury crisis, he plans to make the squad “more robust”.
“There will be a little bit of feeling sometimes with knowledge and numbers and all that about when to rotate and when to rest. That’s a big thing as well. We know that availability is crucial to having success.”

However, somewhat intriguingly, he confirmed that he is yet to decide who his permanent captain will be by the start of the season.
“I haven’t decided anything on that. I have a long list of bullet points I need to get through,” he said. “That will be my decision,” he added, rather than the players’ call.
By contrast, Frank’s Brentford had the best record, conceding just twice. The Bees have become such set-play masters that they have lost various coaches to “Big Six” clubs, while Keith Andrews has been promoted from set-piece coach to manager.

Incorporating Kudus
More will arrive, but for now, Kudus is the only first-team-ready newcomer to the squad. Frank is confident he will add something different in the final third.
