In his farewell message released by Brentford, Thomas Frank also thanked the club's owner Matthew Benham for "his trust and friendship".

"I am not just leaving a football club, I am saying goodbye to friends whose support through good and bad times I will carry with me always," the Danish manager said.

"I would like to say a special word of thanks to Benham. His trust and friendship have meant so much and the fact he gave me a chance in English football means I will always owe him a debt of gratitude. Thank you, Matt.

"So, while this is a goodbye, I hope the relationships I have built with everybody will be lasting ones and, of course, we will meet again in the wonderful world of football."

Brentford have released a statement from Thomas Frank who has told the club's fans he has "left a big piece of my heart at Brentford".

"The time has come for me to move on," Frank says in the statement.

"But even as I leave, I know I have left a big piece of my heart at Brentford, not just at the football club but with the community and, of course, the incredible and loyal supporters.

"I want to extend my profound gratitude to the club for giving me the chance to pursue my dreams and for everyone involved who made the journey such a memorable one.

"For my family and I, it has been a privilege to be allowed to be part of such a special community - it's an experience and adventure that we will cherish for life. So, thank you.

"Whatever we have achieved, we have achieved together, and our success is built on unity, spirit, courage and ambition at every level of the club and amongst the fans. Everybody has contributed, and every contribution has been invaluable."

This seems like a good time to consider what Thomas Frank's first steps will be as Tottenham manager:

• What might he look to change?
• Where does the squad need strengthening?
• What elements of Ange Postecoglou's side will he want to retain?
• What style of play will be implement?
• How will be look to improve on last season's league form and build on their Europa League success?

While we consider those topics, it would be great to hear from Tottenham supporters on what you want to see from your new manager.

Jay Harris, from the Athletic, told BBC Radio 5 Live earlier that Thomas Frank's first job will be to tighten up Tottenham's defence.

Well, according to Givemesport, external, Brentford will block attempts from Frank to bring Christian Norgaard with him to Spurs.

The Danish defensive midfielder, who joined the club in the summer of 2019, signed a new two-year deal with the Bees in March.

He has been credited with providing a shield in front of the Brentford defence while also laying a platform to help the Bees' forward players shine.

At the time Norgaard signed that new contract, then Brentford head coach Thomas Frank said: "Christian has been an integral part of the fantastic journey we have been on these past six years. He is our club captain and one of our most important players.

"The first time I coached Christian, he was a number 10; now he is one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League."

Not sure it's quite the same, Chris, as David Moyes taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson - Manchester United were Premier League champions at the time and had enjoyed an unprecedented period of success.

However, Tottenham have won a first piece of silverware in 17 years so the squad has shown what it is capable of.

Can Thomas Frank build on that Europa League title?

We shall see...

Stephen Warnock
Former Liverpool defender on BBC's Football Daily podcast

As a player, I'd be very excited. I'd respect [Thomas] Frank for what he's done with the budget he's had at Brentford, but also the style of play he's produced within that.

The frontline has been full of outstanding players; defensively, they've been really organised.

I was in America when Brentford were playing in a pre-season competition and the players loved him and his management style.

They had so much respect for Frank because he treated them like humans and let them be free. But, he would not let the standards of training drop.

He's not just the lovely guy in front of camera, there's an element of steel to him too. He ticks all the boxes. He's a great addition to Tottenham.

You know Jay, it's not just the Tottenham supporters who are feeling conflicted.

This just in from a Thomas Frank fan...

BBC 5 Live Breakfast

A final word from the Athletic's Tottenham reporter Jay Harris: "I think Spurs fans feel mixed [about the appointment]. I think they’re excited about Thomas Frank but this is going to be a difficult job for him because no matter what happens, he is going to be the manager who succeeded Ange Postecoglou and for a lot of Spurs fans their emotions still feel very conflicted about that.

"Lots of them recognise that Postecloglou didn’t do a particularly good job in the league but he brought them their first piece of silverware in 17 years, their first European trophy in 41 years.

"The amount of Spurs fans I know and have spoken to who’ve said that has been a huge weight off their shoulders to finally lose that tag of being trophyless."

It will be interesting to hear from Thomas Frank, Pete.

There were no quotes from Tottenham's new boss in the club statement announcing his appointment.

So we will have to wait for the answers to some of these questions.

All will become clear in time, no doubt...

BBC 5 Live Breakfast

More from the Athletic's Tottenham reporter Jay Harris on the Champions League and number of games Spurs will play next season: "I think Frank had a tiny bit of experience in Europe with Bromby, who are in Denmark, but I think he only got them to the Europa League qualifying round, so this is a really fresh experience for him.

"I’m sure Thomas Frank will say he coached Brentford in the Championship when there were 46 games in a league season - they’re coming at you thick and fast - but I think Brentford played around 43 games last season in all competitions, Spurs played 60.

"Thomas has said before he has this 24-hour rule where he gives himself and the players 24 hours to process a result - I don’t know if he’ll have the time to do that when Spurs are playing in the Champions League!"

BBC 5 Live Breakfast

The Athletic's Tottenham reporter Jay Harris told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I think what they’ll want Thomas Frank to do is be here for the long-term. He is a manager who, if you look at his track record at Brentford and before that when he worked with Denmark’s youth teams, he’s very good at developing young talent and this Spurs squad is very young at the moment.

"I think what they’ll hope Frank does in the short-term is fix their defence. They conceded at least 60 goals in the last two seasons under Ange Postecoglou in the league.

"So ideally fix the defence, get them to be a bit more consistent. Spurs were just too up and down under Postecoglou and hopefully get them back towards the top of the table."
