Andreas Georgson (First Team Assistant Coach)

The Swede, who appeared on Episode #37 of the TGG Podcast, left Manchester United at the end of May, after just a year. His specialism is as a Set Piece Coach – a role he held at United, Southampton, Arsenal and Brentford – and he will once again be focusing on that area for Tottenham.

As is my pattern, I've gone all in with Frank after watching and listening to a lot of content in the last few days.

He seems to have that rare blend of intelligence, humility and warmth, which is such a great combination for a manager - evidenced by Brentford's really lovely farewell statement.
This all feels so sensible, positive and right.
A team of coaches that really enjoy improving players and working with youth joining us when we have a team of younger hungry players who have scope to be shaped and honed.
A set piece specialist coming in as well as a hugely rated attacking coach to be presented with a squad of pretty technically gifted players.

Really feels like something great could be built now, without even needing that much transfer churn.

Brentford fans apparently livid Frank didn't take Claus Norgaard with him - he's their defensive coach, and by all accounts has not been great at his job given their defensive frailties this season.

By contrast, they are livid they lost Justin Cochrane, who was apparently being groomed as their future manager.

Promising stuff to have staff who are good at their jobs and have proven themselves at Premier League level.

Interesting also to see what happens with Matt Wells and Rob Burch - I don't mind a manager having a large staff, but we have historically proven reluctant to acquiesce to that for some bizarre reason.

Agreed JerusalemMan.
I was really pleased we got Thomas Frank, but a huge part of what made Thomas Frank successful was his backroom staff/ coaches/ fitness and technical analysts... and we got them too.
Brilliant work from the Spurs directors.
