The winds of change are blowing through North London as Thomas Frank takes his place in the Spurs dugout for the very first time on Saturday afternoon, steering Tottenham Hotspur into their pre-season curtain-raiser against Reading.
It’s been nearly two months since the Lilywhites last laced up their boots, and to say things have shifted would be putting it mildly. The most seismic shake-up? A change at the helm. Despite Ange Postecoglou ending the club’s 17-year silverware drought, his stint came to an abrupt end, leaving fans scratching their heads and stirring up the kind of drama only Tottenham seem to specialize in. And just like that, the Thomas Frank chapter kicks off.
On the other side, Reading are back in action as well, looking to shake off the sting of last season’s near-miss. A 4-2 heartbreak loss to Barnsley on the final day saw their promotion dreams go up in smoke. Ever since their 2023 relegation from the Championship, they’ve been knocking on the door—and this season, they’ll be hoping to finally kick it down.
