Tottenham Hotspur are continuing their backroom reshuffle with two senior figures in the club’s performance and medical departments stepping down.
According to Football London, director of performance services Adam Brett and head of sports science Nick Davies have both left the club after just one year.
This comes after a season where the Tottenham dressing room was plagued by recurring injury issues.
At times, former head coach Ange Postecoglou was left with as few as 13 or 14 senior players, which thwarted his second season at the club.
Injuries are part of the game, but Tottenham’s situation was far from normal, and the recurrence of certain issues forced the club to take action.
Postecoglou’s first choice centre-back pairing, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, were in and out of the team due to injuries, while Richarlison, Ben Davies, and Wilson Odobert spent months in the infirmary.
These issues pushed Tottenham to review their medical and sports science department. Brett and Davies came in last summer, with the club moving in a new director.
Brett had spent nearly ten years at Brighton & Hove Albion, so he came in with plenty of experience, while Davies worked with the Welsh national team and West Ham United.
However, they’ve become the latest senior figures to leave the club as part of a backroom shake-up following the departure of long-serving head of medicine Geoff Scott, who had been at the club for two decades.
Davies may not have to wait too long before landing a new job. He is already being linked with a move to Everton, where he would reunite with David Moyes.
Thomas Frank bringing in new faces
In the meantime, Thomas Frank has brought in familiar faces from Brentford to help the transition to a new era.
Chris Haslam has joined as head of performance and will also serve as a first-team assistant coach, while Nick Stubbings will take charge of the medical department after 11 years with Brentford.
Tom Perryman also comes in as a strength and conditioning coach.
