We loved Thomas Frank as Brentford manager, but didn’t understand what was happening at Tottenham. This was the coach who had cracked the codes in the Premier League and given the big clubs trouble with a squad without stars. It was Frank who created Brentford stars. So with the Tottenham squad, Frank was finally going to take the next step. It turned out that a bunch of stars couldn’t match the sacrificial efforts of every single Brentford player and the indisputable confidence in Frank football. Eight months as Spurs manager was all the trust the Dane got. Another London club is taking this as an opportunity.
Frank led Tottenham to the Champions League’s 4th best club in the “group stage”, but failed to shape the team to perform in the Premier League. Igor Tudor stepped in like a bulldozer as interim coach and denigrated the mentality of the Spurs players, but showed with two defeats in two games that this is not a quick fix.

For Crystal Palace, Thomas Frank’s availability is a great opportunity. Oliver Glasner is done after the end of the season, according to ink The Sun , Thoms Frank is a strong candidate to take over the job.
The Dane is not the type to need a “Zidane holiday” for several years, has so much more to accomplish in the world’s toughest league, so the timing is therefore perfect. The former Brentford manager has the experience of building a team from scratch with a focus on stability.
Frank himself is said to be open to returning to the Premier League this summer, to prove that his failed round at Tottenham was a one-off offence, it is reported.

The Premier League needs a coach like Thomas Frank back, if the Crystal Palace management is ready to give the Dane patience beyond eight months, this could be really good.
