Overview
- Frank confirmed on Friday that he will not take a new managerial job this summer and does not intend to pursue reported links to Fulham or Crystal Palace.
- He was sacked by Tottenham in February after a roughly six- to seven-month spell that left the club 16th in the Premier League and led to interim coach Igor Tudor being followed by Roberto De Zerbi.
- Frank says he will use the break to learn from other leaders, broaden his perspective and rebuild energy before returning to management at a later date.
- He will work as a World Cup pundit for Danish television and the BBC, and has said he plans to attend events such as the Tour de France while studying coaching methods.
- Frank’s move removes a high-profile candidate from the summer market and leaves clubs that had been linked to him to pursue alternate targets while he focuses on family and professional development.
