Thomas Frank rules out immediate return to management

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has ruled out a return to football management until at least next season. The 52-year-old, who left the London club in February, stated that "this summer is not the right time" to jump back into the dugout.

Since leaving Spurs, the Danish coach—who previously managed Brentford—has been linked with several high-profile roles, including vacancies at Crystal Palace and Fulham. Despite receiving opportunities, Frank has opted to prioritize a period of reflection and professional development.

Frank intends to spend the coming months studying leadership and observing other sports professionals, alongside his upcoming punditry duties for the World Cup. He also spoke positively about his tenure at Tottenham, maintaining that the club has a "bright future" despite the challenging results during his time in charge.
