Thomas Frank is now working with one of his Tottenham Hotspur predecessors

Thomas Frank is back in work after joining forces with fellow former Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou.

Frank, who was sacked by Spurs in February after just eight months in charge, has been appointed to UEFA's Technical Observer Group. The group monitors the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.

Per UEFA, the panel members uses "stats and video assistance, enabling them to deliver detailed reports on the latest developments in coaching, which are shared among the footballing community to give a dynamic account of the state of the game."

On Frank's addition to the group, European football's governing body added: "A considered and thoughtful coach, Frank spent 18 years in youth set-ups and was assistant at Brentford before being given the top job in 2018.

"There, he earned the club's first-ever promotion to the Premier League and kept them there for four seasons, before he departed for a stint at Tottenham."

Frank joins Postecoglou, who was signed up following his sacking by Nottingham Forest after just 39 days in charge. One of Postecoglou's first assignments in the role was to assess Arsenal's Champions League victory over Inter Milan earlier this year, during which he lavished praise on now-departed striker Gabriel Jesus, who scored twice.

Other big names on the panel include Rafael Benitez, Roy Hodgson, Gareth Southgate, Sean Dyche, Erik ten Hag, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ryan Giggs. Frank and his colleagues will be busy this week as European competition resumes on Tuesday, with Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Aston Villa all in Champions League action.

The role will keep Frank in touch with the game as he looks to return to management. The former Brentford boss was sacked in February following a defeat to Newcastle, which left Spurs 16th in the Premier League.

Frank took over as head coach after Postecoglou was sacked, signing a three-year deal, but couldn't improve league form despite some strong results in Europe. The Dane will have watched Spurs' early-season struggles under Roberto De Zerbi with intrigue.

Despite lavish summer spending, the Lilywhites sit at the bottom of the table with just two points from five games ahead of Saturday's game at Manchester United.
