Fabian Otte Set for Tottenham Move as Thomas Frank Builds New-Look Coaching Team

Tottenham Hotspur are continuing to reshape their backroom setup under new head coach Thomas Frank, with former Liverpool goalkeeping coach Fabian Otte expected to become the latest addition at Hotspur Way.

Otte Targeted for Key Role at Spurs

Fabian Otte, who recently departed Liverpool after a short stint with Jürgen Klopp’s staff, is on the verge of joining Tottenham ahead of the 2025–26 campaign. The 34-year-old German coach brings a growing reputation in elite goalkeeping circles, having previously worked with the United States national team, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Burnley.

His arrival marks another significant step in Frank’s overhaul, as the Dane assembles a trusted group to support his transition from Brentford to Spurs. Otte’s methods, known for blending technical development with a strong psychological focus, have attracted interest across Europe. His time with the USA and Bundesliga sides has shaped a modern, analytical approach to the position – one that Spurs hope will elevate their goalkeeping department.

Frank’s Brentford Core Now at Tottenham

Since his appointment as Ange Postecoglou’s successor, Frank has wasted little time reshaping the environment around the first team. He has already brought in several familiar faces from his Brentford tenure: Justin Cochrane, Chris Haslam, and Joe Newton have followed him from West London, while Andreas Georgson has joined from Manchester United.

Otte’s inclusion strengthens the club’s technical expertise, particularly in a department that could see increased competition this season. With pre-season now underway at Enfield, Spurs’ players are beginning to adapt to the new structure and expectations laid out by Frank’s incoming staff.

Kudus in Spurs’ Sights Amid Ongoing Negotiations

Alongside coaching appointments, Tottenham continue to pursue attacking reinforcements. Talks are ongoing with West Ham United over the potential signing of Ghana international Mohamed Kudus. An initial bid worth £50 million has been rejected, but the North London club remain intent on striking a deal.

Kudus, who enjoyed a standout season with the Hammers, is keen to make the switch to Tottenham. His dynamism, versatility, and eye for goal would offer Frank valuable options in attack, particularly as Spurs look to balance European competition with domestic challenges in the season ahead.

South Korea Tour on Horizon

Spurs’ preparations for the new campaign will soon take them overseas, with a pre-season tour of South Korea scheduled for later this month. The trip offers an opportunity for Frank and his new staff — including Otte — to instil tactical principles and assess the squad under competitive conditions.

As Tottenham continue to reshape both on and off the pitch, the appointment of Fabian Otte reflects a strategic investment in elite coaching. With Frank’s vision beginning to take shape, Spurs fans may start to see a more defined identity under the new regime.
