Thomas Frank was declared a genius as Brentford coach. The Dane led the club to Premier League promotion, then Brentford shook several of the established PL clubs by leaping over the middle line. Frank was linked to several of the biggest clubs in the last years of his stay at the Brentford Community Stadium, ending in the summer of 2025 at Tottenham. Although the energetic Dane never managed to use the code-breaking in the Premier League from Brentford at Tottenham, Frank still has a solid name on the ball island. Now he is announced as a top candidate to take over the job from the Spaniard who is unlikely to experience English Christmas football.
The move from the world’s biggest club, Real Madrid, to the world’s toughest league, the Premier League, has not been an easy journey for Alvaro Arbeloa. The Spaniard replaced Marco Silva as Sander Berge’s and Oscar Bobbs’ coach at Fulham. Not an easy task after the great success of the Portuguese. Promotion as Championship champion, finally establishment in the Premier League without a direct descent down to the second division. Then the club’s highest score in the Premier League, the historic semi-final ticket in the cup and the coach with the highest win percentage of all predecessors at Fulham. Three months into Arbeola’s tenure, there is already talk of a change of coach.

Fulham supporters have become accustomed to not caring about the relegation battle in the Premier League, but with two points from six games, Arbeloa has led Fulham to a place rock bottom, even weaker than Tottenham!
According to talkSport , the games against Hull City and Coventry stand as games of fate for the Spanish coach, where the exit could be the outcome of a loss to the promoted giants. According to the medium, there are also tensions behind the scenes between the former Real Madrid coach and several of the team’s experienced players.
This opens the door for Thomas Frank. Declared a genius as Brentford manager, a club that took the same journey of success as Silva did with Fulham, but almost ridiculed as Tottenham manager. After eight months in the job, the Dane was sacked at Tottenham, but we see with Roberto de Zerbi that the problems at Spurs run so much deeper than those of the coach.

According to talkSPORT, Frank is the favourite to take over the Fulham job if/when Arbeloa is weighed too lightly. If this happens, Berge and Bobb will have a charismatic, energetic and “crazy” coach who cracked all the codes in the Premier League with Brentford.
