Thomas Frank said on Friday he had “left a big piece of my heart” at Brentford after taking on the daunting task of reviving Tottenham’s Premier League fortunes.
Spurs announced the Dane as their new head coach on a three-year deal on Thursday, as a replacement for the sacked Ange Postecoglou.
Frank, 51, won 136 of his 317 matches across seven years at Brentford, taking them into the Premier League in 2021.
In an emotional message posted on Brentford’s website, Frank said: “The time has come for me to move on. But, even as I leave, I know I have left a big piece of my heart at Brentford, not just at the football club but with the community and, of course, the incredible and loyal supporters.
