Ledley King shares what he’s learned about Thomas Frank’s initial period at Tottenham.

Ledley King has shared his thoughts on Tottenham’s decision to appoint Thomas Frank, along with what he’s heard from people inside the club about the Dane’s first month at Hotspur Way.

In recent weeks, several Spurs players have spoken about the fresh tactical ideas Frank has introduced. Pre-season matches have already shown that the team’s setup will differ significantly from Ange Postecoglou’s approach last season. Frank has emphasised the need for a more balanced side, capable of performing well in all phases of play.

King described the new head coach as a “sensible” manager with a proven Premier League record, adding that the squad is eager to learn and implement his methods. He believes Frank favours high pressing and high energy but is pragmatic enough to adjust tactics when necessary. King also praised the Dane’s approachable style, highlighting his ability to connect with players and foster unity across the club.

The former Spurs captain revealed he has been told by staff that Frank has held meetings with everyone at the club to strengthen the sense of togetherness. He sees this focus on connection and inclusion as a vital ingredient for long-term success, noting that Frank is actively working to make everyone feel part of the club’s journey.
