The Thomas Frank era begins on Saturday afternoon as Tottenham Hotspur take to the field for the first time under their new manager for a preseason friendly with Reading.
Spurs ended their agonising 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League at the end of last season but that wasn’t enough to keep Ange Postecoglou in the dugout. Frank will be aiming to build on the work done by the Australian and bring more silverware to N17, while also improving the club’s performances in the Premier League after an embarrassing 17th-place finish in 2024–25.
Tottenham travel to League One Reading aiming to get off to a winning start under Frank and the ex-Brentford boss will be able to unleash a host of new summer signings. Mohammed Kudus is the blockbuster addition to the squad, while youngsters Kōta Takai and Luka Vušković could be involved. Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso will play their first minutes since permanently signing for Spurs following loan spells last term.
Tottenham supporters will be desperate to get a glimpse of their new-look team as Frank gets to grips with the task at hand, with fans able to tune into the action at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.
