Justin Cochrane has revealed that he coached Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho, who was a target for Tottenham in January.

Brentford and England coach Justin Cochrane is set to join Thomas Frank at Tottenham. Frank's arrival at Spurs will be confirmed inside the next 24 hours and the Dane is bringing Cochrane with him across London.

Cochrane was “heavily involved in the planning of training sessions,” and his detail-oriented, development-focused approach makes him an ideal lieutenant for Frank’s project at Spurs. Joining Cochrane and Frank are Chris Haslam and Joe Newton — both long-serving members of Brentford’s technical team.

Tottenham Hotspur may not have hit the ground running in the transfer market, but they’re certainly working hard to get their new coaching team in place. Tottenham agreed terms with Thomas Frank following the departure of Ange Postecoglou and contacted Brentford earlier this week to hold talks regarding compensation and staff.

The Athletic also writes that Cochrane’s status is what took the club so long to announce Frank’s appointment, as they were trying to work out where he would go and what he wanted. Cochrane is also part of the England coaching setup under Thomas Tuchel and will apparently stay on there as well.
