Jay Harris, a reporter for The Athletic who follows Tottenham Hotspur believes appointing Thomas Frank. As the new head coach is a risk for the management because the manager is inexperienced in European competitions. And will be playing in the Champions League next season.
Frank was brought in from Brentford to replace Ange Postekolu, who was sacked just days after leading Spurs to Europa League glory. โปรโมชั่น ufabet
The challenge for the 51-year-old coach, in addition to winning over Ange’s legacy players is also the tough challenge of facing Champions League opponents.
But the most worrying thing is Frank’s past working philosophy. Which takes a long time to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the previous match results. When there are matches every 3 days. There is no time to do the same thing as when he was with a small team.
He told BBC 5 Live Sport:
“I think Frank has little European Championship experience from his time at Bromby in Denmark.”
“If I’m not mistaken, it was just the Europa League qualifiers. So being the manager of Spurs in the Champions League was a freshman experience.”
“I can guess Thomas’s words were referring to his time with Brentford in the English Championship. Which was a 46-game season – but with Spurs the games were more intense, the gaps between games came faster.”
“Just last season, Brentford played 43 games in all competitions, while Spurs played 60.”
“Frank also said that he works by the rule that. He has to have 24 hours for himself and his team to analyze the results of the previous match.”
“I’m also not sure if taking charge of Spurs with the Champions League in the middle of the week will leave time to maintain the same working principles.”
Spurs will get a taste of continental action in the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint – Germain on August 13. Before a pre – season friendly against Bayern Munich on August 7 .
