THOMAS FRANK is now officially ready to take on the Premier League and Champions League with Tottenham - after appointing his full backroom team this week.

The former Brentford boss, 51, posed for pictures with his new staff and many were surprised to see a familiar face in the lineup.

The Danish manager has brought an ex-Rangers coach with him to North London after being impressed with his work back in Scotland and abroad.

Cameron Campbell has linked up with the gaffer as a first team individual development coach.

It's the 33-year-old's first role in a senior squad after being heavily involved with the Ibrox youth teams and RB Leipzig's academy most recently.

Born in Lossiemouth, Campbell started his career at Aberdeen and worked his way through the youth academy from assistant manager of the Under-17s squad to manager of their development squad, with a stint as youth coach in between.

From there he was picked up by the Right to Dream academy - a fruitful youth system based in Ghana which has multiple locations across the globe.

Affiliated with Danish side Norsdjaelland, the academy, owned by the Mansour Group, has produced a large number of professional players, including current Rangers star Mohamed Diomande.

The likes of Mohammed Kudus, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Simon Adingra also came through the academy.

And that's where Frank may have been made aware of Campbell given the training centre's long-lasting links with Denmark.

Campbell stayed with the Right to Dream Academy for two years between 2018 and 2020 before he was snapped up by Rangers to be the manager of their Under-18s team.

He became a popular figure at Ibrox and was even credited by Uefa for his research into crossing throughout the 2021/22 Champions League technical report.

Campbell left his role in 2024 to head to the Bundesliga where he worked with RB Leipzig as a scout and assistant manager of their Under-19s team.

But now he's started a new chapter of his career with his first role in the Premier League.

A statement from Tottenham read: "Following the recent appointment of Thomas Frank as our new Head Coach, we can now confirm the full composition of our men’s first team coaching staff ahead of the new season.

"Further to the previously-announced arrivals of Justin Cochrane (First Team Assistant Coach), Chris Haslam (Head of Performance & First Team Assistant Coach), Andreas Georgson (First Team Assistant Coach) and Joe Newton (First Team Coach Analyst), we can confirm that Matt Wells will remain on the coaching staff as First Team Assistant Coach.

"In addition, we welcome Cameron Campbell as First Team Individual Development Coach and Fabian Otte as First Team Goalkeeper Coach – they arrive following spells at RB Leipzig and Liverpool respectively.

"Furthermore, we’re pleased to announce that Stuart Lewis and Dean Brill have been promoted into new roles from our Academy.

"Stuart is now First Team Academy Transition Coach following four successful years leading our Under-18s. As part of this new role, he will aid the development and integration of our young players into the senior set-up.

"Dean becomes First Team Assistant Goalkeeping Coach, having previously worked as Head of Academy Goalkeeping.

"Finally, we can announce that Rob Burch has left the Club. A former player and coach in our Academy, Rob returned to us as First Team Goalkeeping Coach in 2023. We thank him for his service and wish him well for the future. A member of our Spurs family, he will always be welcome at the Club."

FORMER Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has been targeted by a Saudi Arabian side, according to reports.

The Australian manager was sacked by Spurs last week despite winning Spurs' first piece of silverware in 17 years after their Europa League victory over Manchester United.

Thomas Frank swiftly replaced Postecoglou at Tottenham as the ex-Brentford boss looks to hijack Man Utd's deal for Bryan Mbuemo.

The ex-Celtic treble winning boss has reportedly been looked at by clubs in England and in Europe after his sacking.

Now the Telegraph report Saudi side Al-Ahli want to bring the Aussie in if their manager decides to move on - although former Barcelona icon Xavi is also on the Saudi side's shortlist.

The Riyadh side, who have stars such as Ivan Toney, Riyad Mahrez and Roberto Firmino on their books, would offer Postecoglou big money to join.

Their current boss, Matthias Jaissle, has been attracting interest of his own with the 37-year-old coach being looked at by clubs in Europe, including RB Leipzig.

The German was also linked to the West Ham job before the London club appointed ex-Chelsea and Brighton boss Graham Potter.

Postecoglou is accustomed to Asian football already with his experiences in Japan with Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan.

He also won the Asian Cup in his spell as the Australia manager, whilst also guiding them to World Cup qualification in 2014.

The Aussie bid an emotional farewell to Spurs fans after it was announced he'd been shown the door.

He said: "When I reflect on my time as Manager of Tottenham Hotspur my overriding emotion is one of pride.

"The opportunity to lead one of England's historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime.

"Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget.

"That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream.

"There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible.

"We have also laid foundations that mean this club should not have to wait 7 more years for their next success.

"I have enormous faith in this group of players and know there is much more potential and growth in them.

"I sincerely want to thank those who are the lifeblood of the club, the supporters.

"I know there were some difficult times but I always felt that they wanted me to succeed and that gave me all the motivation I needed to push on.

"It's important to acknowledge the hard working people at Spurs who gave me encouragement on a daily basis.

"And finally, I want to thank those who were with me every day for the last two years.

"A fantastic group of young men who are now legends of this football club and the brilliant coaches who never once doubted we could do something special.

"We are forever connected. Audere est Facere."

ANGE Postecoglou remains an available man since his departure from Tottenham Hotspur last week.

The former Celtic manager was sacked by Spurs after finishing 17th in the Premier League, despite winning the Europa League to claim the club's first major trophy in 17 years.

The London side are looking likely to appoint Brentford boss Thomas Frank to replace the Australian, but what's next for him?

AceOdds have unveiled their odds on where the 59-year-old might find himself next, with a few surprising shouts.

Pressure is growing on Steve Clarke after a dismal Hampden performance against Iceland, with only an injury hampered friendly against Liechtenstein tonight to make up for it.

And the probability of Postecoglou landing the Scotland job sits at 6/1.

Only two dugout roles are rated more likely for him, the first being a Socceroos return at 5/1.

He won the AFC Asian Cup with his home country and managed at the 2014 World Cup, but resigned before Russia 2018.

The favourite however is a 3/1 shout for Ange to takeover the Greek giants AEK Athens.

The 13-time league winners finished fourth this season as Olympiacos ran away with it.

A Celtic return isn't rated too unlikely at 10/1, despite Brendan Rodgers showing no signs of leaving after a comfortable League and League Cup double.

However, the Northern Irishman has come under scrutiny from supporters for losing key matches including Old Firm derbies and the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen to sink the treble.

The Aussie was a favourite at Parkhead between 2021 and 2023, with his five major titles earning him the huge EPL move.

In a bizarre call, Glasgow rivals Rangers are on the list of potential options at 33/1.

Ibrox bosses just last week appointed former Southampton gaffer Russell Martin on a three-year contract.

Another unlikely side listed amongst possibilities for Postecoglou is the England national team.

The Three Lions have only played a handful of matches under relatively new head coach Thomas Tuchel who took over from Gareth Southgate at the start of the year.

Several other clubs down south are named as options as well as the potential of joining 'any Saudi Pro League club'.

JOSE MOURINHO is ready to test Celtic's resolve with a sizeable Fenerbahce bid for Hoops player of the year Daizen Maeda, it's being claimed out in Turkey.

The little Japan star bagged a whopping 33 goals this season and ended with a haul of individual awards.

And that's led to no shortage of interest in the 27-year-old, particularly from managers who know exactly how effective can be.

Two men with a keen eye on Scottish football are Jose Mourinho and Ange Postecoglou, even if rumours about the Aussie's future at Spurs refuse to go away.

And now Turkish outlet Sokcu are claiming that Fenerbahce are "very determined" to complete the transfer of Maeda, who has been excused international duty with Japan as he spends time with a new child back home.

But they also claim Celtic are demanding at least £25m for the player - and say that an interest from Tottenham has made their job "a little more difficult".

Only earlier this week, Maeda had given Hoops bosses a boost about staying for next season - but things can change quickly in football.

He said: "I was in great form this season, both personally and so were the team.

"So I'd like to keep it going next season.

"I am who I am because of my team, Celtic.

"I'd like to thank my teammates and, above all, my family for supporting me so far.

"I'd be happy if I could score more goals next season. I hope the number of goals will continue to increase."
