Tottenham Under-18 coach could join Thomas Frank’s coaching staff
As Thomas Frank’s first-team coaching staff at Tottenham Hotspur starts to take shape, Alasdair Gold has now revealed that some familiar faces can be added to the set-up.
Justin Cochrane, Chris Haslam, and Joe Newton will accompany Frank from Brentford to Tottenham, with the trio boasting extremely impressive CVs.
According to reports, Cochrane was in line to replace Frank as Brentford’s head coach if he had stayed at the Bees, with his capture thus representing a major coup for the Lilywhites.
Haslam has extensive experience as an athletic performance coach, while Newton has been Brentford’s first-team analyst since 2019.
Familiar faces could be added to Thomas Frank’s coaching staff
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has now said that Tottenham’s U18s coach, Stuart Lewis, could join the Dane’s first-team staff as the Lilywhites embark on a new era.
Lewis has delivered three trophies in as many seasons with the Spurs youth set-up and is rated very highly at the club for the way he has developed some youngsters over recent years.
The 37-year-old could thus be in line for a promotion as Frank looks to assemble a team that can take Tottenham back up the Premier League table.
Interestingly, Gold reveals that Cochrane is friends with Matt Wells following their time together as coaches within Tottenham’s academy, while he also knows goalkeeping coach Rob Burch well.
Wells and Burch have remained at Tottenham despite Ange Postecoglou’s departure and the pair could continue as part of Frank’s set-up.
Tottenham could have a new set-piece coach
Gold also relays suggestions that Frank may add a set-piece coach to his staff at Hotspur Way, with Andreas Georgson mooted for the job.
The Swede, who has served as the head coach of Norwegian side Lillestrom in the past, left his role as Man United’s set-piece coach earlier this year, and may now be set to take up the same position with the Lilywhites.
That would represent a big departure from the previous regime, with Postecoglou famously adamant that he does not believe in working on set-pieces in training.
