"Yeah, it's not only that example but I think it's a good example because of course Pochettino is a legend here. "What he built, what he was part of achieving, I think it is definitely a spell I looked at when I was not here and of course I was very aware of when I got offered the job. I always looked at that and thought, 'wow, what he built, what they built together there was quite unique and quite impressive.'""
"I think any success in football history is more or less from clubs and teams that had the same head coach or manager for a long spell. "That is of course not about me but also includes the key staff members, so they have continuity in key staff members that can be sports directors, CEO, that can be assistant coaches and of course the manager or head coach. "That is almost a non-negotiable and then of course it is up to me to make sure we have enough progress along the way, but we all know it"
Thomas Frank's first 13 matches as Tottenham head coach match Mauricio Pochettino's start with six wins, four draws and three defeats. Tottenham drew 0-0 at Monaco in the Champions League, provoking boos and leaving the club with one win in five matches. Including the UEFA Super Cup shootout loss to Paris Saint-Germain, Frank's record mirrors Pochettino's while Tottenham have scored more and conceded fewer goals under Frank. Pochettino previously won six of his first 13 matches in 2014-15 before a long managerial reign. Frank praised Pochettino's achievements and emphasized long-term continuity in managers and key staff as central to sustained success.
