Thomas Frank has promised a risk-taking, front-foot approach at Tottenham Hotspur next season.
In an exclusive interview with Spurs' in-house media, the new head coach, 51, said he will follow in the tradition of Spurs' attacking style as he looks to build on the club's UEFA Europa League win and turn them into "serial winners".
“We'll work every day to make magic moments for the fans” – Thomas Frank
“I know the ethos and the history of the club is massive on attacking football, and there is so much attacking talent in the squad," said Frank. "I’m very, very big on principles and what we do in the final third in terms of creating chances.
“I always say this one-liner: if you don’t take risks, you also take risks. So it’s important we take risks. Risk is you need to play forward.
"If you don’t risk the ball, you can’t create things. We need to be brave."
Predecessor Postecoglou a 'legend'
Frank has joined from Brentford on a three-year contract, replacing Ange Postecoglou, who was dismissed despite delivering Spurs' first trophy in 17 years.
The Dane spoke of his admiration for the person he is replacing and his desire to create more memories at the club.
“He will for ever be a legend at Tottenham Hotspur," Frank added. "It’s very important to understand that we all stand on the shoulders of others so I am going in on the foundations that Ange has built.
"I’m very humble about that and I’ll do my very best to continue the great work he put in.
“The feeling and excitement [following the Europa League victory over Manchester United] the joy and happiness you could see in the fans’ faces, the pictures you saw - wow!
"Hopefully we can create more of those moments. That would be the ultimate dream to do that and build on that. No one can say they are not winners; the team and the players are winners. Now we need to do our best to see whether we can be serial winners in the future.”
