That same level of structure and consistency will now be demanded at Tottenham, where expectations remain firmly fixed on regular top-four finishes, which makes Spurs a regular in the Champions League.READ MORE: Tottenham must move for Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha this summerThe post Tottenham name four backroom staff members joining Thomas Frank including one recently at Manchester United appeared first on Spurs Web.
