Coaches Clash Off-Pitch: World Cup Pundit Battle

Former Tottenham managers Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank are transitioning from the dugout to the TV studio as rival World Cup pundits this summer. Thomas Frank has agreed to join BBC Sport, while Ange Postecoglou will work for ITV. Both former Spurs managers have remained silent since their dismissals from their coaching roles.

The BBC and ITV will jointly broadcast the upcoming World Cup, sharing the UK rights. While they will only co-broadcast the final live, each network will have its own dedicated studio for coverage. The BBC plans to broadcast from its Salford studios until at least the quarter-finals, citing financial and environmental factors. ITV, however, will operate from a studio in Brooklyn, New York.
