Thomas Frank has revamped Tottenham’s backroom team after being appointed as the club’s new manager.
The Dane has raided Brentford to reset Spurs’ coaching setup, bringing three members of staff with him from the Bees after signing a three-year contract.
Frank had agreed to join Tottenham at the start of this week and a big part of negotiations over the past few days has been around securing his coaching staff.
Justin Cochrane arrives as a first-team assistant coach, Chris Haslam as head of performance and a first-team assistant coach, while Joe Newton joins as an analyst.
Andreas Georgson - who worked with Frank at Brentford before joining Arsenal in 2020 - also arrives as an assistant after leaving Manchester United last month.
Tottenham have confirmed assistant coaches Mile Jedinak, Nick Montgomery and Sergio Raimundo - who worked under Frank’s predecessor Ange Postecoglou - have all left the club. Ryan Mason departed earlier this summer, too, after landing the job of West Brom’s new manager.
Here, Standard Sport takes a look at those in Frank’s backroom team…

Andreas Georgson
The 43-year-old has a wealth of experience coaching in English football after stints at Arsenal, Brentford, Manchester United and Southampton.
The most recent of those spells was at United, but Georgson left his role as a first-team coach there last month and is currently out of work.
The Swede specialises in coaching set-pieces and that is why Arsenal poached him from Brentford in August 2020, with Mikel Arteta keen to exploit that area of the game.
Georgson left Arsenal at the end of the 2020-21 season after landing the job of Sports Manager at Swedish club Malmo and he was replaced by Nicolas Jover.
Defending set-pieces was a problem for Tottenham under Postecoglou. Last season, they conceded 13 goals in the Premier League from set-pieces, with only three teams having a worse tally than that.
Georgson’s expertise in that area could help Spurs address an issue that led to them leaking goals.
Justin Cochrane
The 43-year-old has been working with Brentford for three years now, while earlier this year he joined Thomas Tuchel’s England backroom staff, too.
Cochrane is one of the Football Association’s major success stories after he worked his way up their ranks by coaching England at Under-15, Under-16 and Under-17 level.
Many of England’s current senior squad worked with Cochrane in that time, including the likes of Lewis Hall and Noni Madueke.
Cochrane actually began his coaching career with Tottenham, working with their youth sides, before moving to England’s age-group teams.
United made him their head of player development in 2021, before Brentford snapped the 43-year-old up 12 months later.
Cochrane’s focus for the Bees is to work on their offensive patterns of play and he was a contender to replace Frank.

Chris Haslam
Haslam spent more than 14 years at Brentford over two spells with the club and was an integral part of Frank’s backroom team there.
Most recently, he worked as the club’s head of athletic performance after being handed the job in 2016.
Before that, Haslam had been head of sport science for the academy and also head of conditioning.
As well was working at Brentford, the 44-year-old has experience of working with the Danish national team, where he was a fitness coach.
For Brentford, Haslam sat across a number of departments - coaching, medical and performance - and he would feed the information into Frank.
Joe Newton
Still only 29, Newton has enjoyed a rapid rise in football. He enrolled at Wrexham University in 2014 after his release by Tranmere Rovers at the end of his apprenticeship.
Newton earned a Sport and Exercise Science degree and then a masters in the same field, all while he was working as a performance analyst for Welsh Premier League club TNS.
In 2019, he joined Brentford as a first-team analyst and his work has led to Frank taking the 29-year-old with him to Spurs.
Newton’s main focus at Brentford would be to prepare and present the post-game analysis debrief.
He would also clip up certain footage from training at the request of Frank and give it to players to watch.
