Tottenham star could thrive at Tottenham if Ange Postecoglou is repalced by this manager

Although his arrival sparked mixed reactions, Brennan Johnson ultimately silenced the doubters by playing a pivotal role in Tottenham’s Europa League triumph. His goal in the final against Manchester United not only turned heads but also significantly boosted his market value. Now, Thomas Frank may finally get the player he once pursued so eagerly, only this time, it’s a more mature and battle-tested version.

Frank is a manager who values physical intensity, tactical awareness, and aggression with and without the ball. Within that framework, Johnson has the potential to truly flourish. His pace, effectiveness in transitions, and relentless off-the-ball movement align perfectly with the style Frank implemented at Brentford. The Dane would likely deploy him as a right winger or secondary striker, using his ability to attack open space and stretch defences to maximum effect.

Frank might not burden Brennan Johnson with creative duties and his aim will likely be to unlock the Welshman’s natural instincts. For that to happen, Spurs will need a centre-forward with strong link-up play and presence, someone in the mould of Ivan Toney, who can occupy defenders and create space for Johnson to exploit.

But there’s another, often overlooked, dimension: the emotional growth of the 24-year-old. Being coached by someone who fully believes in him could prove transformative. Frank is renowned for building strong, personal relationships with his players, often bringing out their best. If that connection is reignited in North London, Johnson may not just thrive, he could evolve into a leader in Spurs’ attack. Their story, once left unfinished, now has the chance to be written on a much grander stage.
