In his first interview as the Tottenham head coach, Thomas Frank laid the groundwork for what to expect from the club and his outlook on the future.
“We’ll work every day to make magic moments for the fans.”
“The feeling, the excitement, the joy and the happiness in the fans’ faces, the pictures—was ‘wow’. Hopefully, we can create more of those moments. That will be the ultimate dream.”
“He will forever be a legend at Tottenham Hotspur.”
“It’s important to understand we all stand on the shoulders of others. I’m going in on the foundation Ange built, and his coaching staff, and I’m very humble about that.”
“I always say this one-liner: if you don’t take risks, you also take risks. So it’s important we take risks.”
“If you don’t risk the ball, you can’t create things. We need to be brave.”
“I’m very, very big on principles and what we do in the final third in terms of creating chances.”
“We’ll play risk-taking, aggressive football. We want to play forward, to attack.”
“If you want to do something quick, you can go alone. If you want to do something big or achieve something big, you go together.”
“I think alignment is key—from top to bottom. The more we can be like an unbreakable unit, the stronger we’ll be.”
“No one can say they are not winners; the team and the players are winners. Now we need to do our best to see whether we can be serial winners in the future.”
