Former Spurs managers Postecoglou, Frank land World Cup jobs

Former Tottenham Hotspur managers Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank will work as television pundits during the 2026 FIFA World Cup after securing broadcasting roles with rival UK networks.

Postecoglou is set to join ITV’s coverage team, while Frank will provide analysis for the BBC throughout the tournament in the United States.

Frank will reportedly appear alongside Wayne Rooney, Alan Shearer, Joe Hart and Olivier Giroud on BBC coverage.

Meanwhile, Postecoglou will feature with ITV pundits including Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Andros Townsend.

Managers return after difficult exits

Frank has largely remained out of the spotlight since leaving Tottenham in February after a disappointing spell in charge.

The former Brentford manager lasted only eight months at Spurs, recording 13 wins from 38 matches.

Postecoglou also endured a short-lived managerial stint after his departure from Nottingham Forest just over a month into his tenure.

Their broadcasting roles are expected to attract interest from supporters keen to hear both managers discuss recent events in their coaching careers.
