Sam Allardyce makes confident Thomas Frank prediction after Tottenham sacking

2 hours ago 19

Sam Allardyce has made a prediction about Thomas Frank after he fell victim to big club pressure at Tottenham Hotspur.

The marriage between Frank and Tottenham was not a happy one, with the Dane losing his job after just eight months in charge in North London, on the back of being at Brentford for more than eight years.

His style of play never really resonated with the Spurs fans, and some of Frank’s public statements also did not go down well with the club’s fan base.

The supporters were relieved when Tottenham finally made a managerial change last week, with many feeling that the Dane should have been sacked a long time ago.

Sam Allardyce claims Thomas Frank experienced ‘different’ pressure at Tottenham

Allardyce believes that the 52-year-old would have experienced the kind of pressure at Tottenham which was very different to his previous jobs.

Even though his time in N17 went horribly wrong, the experienced English coach is confident that we have not seen the last of Frank in the Premier League.

Allardyce said on Sky Sports: “Thomas experienced what it’s like to manage a big club for the first time. It’s different. I’ve done it at Everton, Newcastle, West Ham. There’s a different type of mentality and pressure.

“I think he’s obviously proved he’s a brilliant coach. The experience he’s gained, if he gets another opportunity, he will be better for it once he’s analysed what he did and didn’t do. Thomas will reappear in the Premier League somewhere. He’ll certainly not have to wait to get a job.”

Frank is already in demand in the Premier League

According to reports, the former Brentford boss may not have to wait too long after his sacking at Tottenham to get another Premier League job.

It has been alleged that Frank is already on the radars of Crystal Palace, Fulham and Bournemouth, who are all fearful of losing their managers in the summer.

The Dane can perhaps take confidence from Nuno Espirito Santo’s career trajectory, with the Portuguese coach rebuilding his reputation at Nottingham Forest after being cast aside by Spurs.
