💡 Main takeaway:
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank said he held talks with both Chelsea and Manchester United on the same day last year.
Frank met Sir Jim Ratcliffe in the United co-owner’s garage before speaking to Chelsea at a London hotel in May 2024.
United stuck with then-coach Erik ten Hag before signing Ruben Amorim in November 2024, while Chelsea appointed Enzo Maresca.
Frank (52 years old) stayed with Brentford for another season before joining Tottenham in June 2025.
Dane is releasing a new book and says that day was a surreal experience.
“Sitting down to interview two of the 10 biggest clubs in the world – two hours apart – is very unique,” he told TV 2 Sport., external
“I know I didn’t get either job, but it’s still a big deal.
“I remember walking through Battersea Park between the two interviews and thinking: ‘Thomas Frank from Frederiksvierke – am I really living this?’
Frank has led the Bees to two top-10 finishes in the Premier League, with Tottenham in fifth place after 11 games.
He says his seven years at Brentford were “unique” and admits he faces a new challenge at Tottenham.
He said: “I have repeatedly said that when we look back at the time we spent at Brentford, this could be the best time of our football career because the atmosphere we created together between the team and the coaching staff was unique.”
“Right now, I have a crazy job and a crazy challenge
“It’s very tough, 24-7, 365, and just focusing on winning and moving things forward.”
Tottenham returns to action in the North London derby against rivals Arsenal on Sunday, November 23.
