Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has revealed that he was in talks with both Chelsea and Manchester United on the same day last year. The Dane, 52, met with Sir Jim Ratcliffe, one of Manchester United's co-owners, in his garage before heading to a hotel in London to speak with Chelsea. However, Frank denied any involvement with Chelsea after they appointed Enzo Maresca as their new manager.
Frank's revelation comes after he left Brentford to take over at Tottenham in June 2024. He is now guiding the North London club, who are currently fifth in the Premier League table. The Dane attributes his success at Tottenham to the atmosphere he created between the squad and staff during his time at Brentford, which he believes was unique.
Frank admits that he had a "crazy job" and "challenge" when joining Tottenham, stating that he is "head down, 24/7, 365" in terms of focusing on winning and moving forward. Despite the challenges, Frank remains confident about his team's prospects under his leadership.

. Now that he's revealing all these behind-the-scenes talks with Chelsea and Man United, I'm not surprised at all. I mean, who wouldn't want to be in a high-profile spot like that? 
But seriously, Frank's success so far is impressive, especially considering the competition in the Premier League. The atmosphere he created at Brentford definitely seems to have carried over to Tottenham, and it's no wonder they're doing well under him. 5th place isn't bad for now! I just hope he can keep the pressure on and avoid burnout 
... or does that even matter in his "crazy job" 
?
and frank's approach is pretty refreshing after watching brentford's underdogs story
But for real though, Thomas Frank seems like a really cool guy - his dedication to his job is inspiring. I wish I could be that focused on my studies! 
I'm still trying to get my head around the Premier League and who plays where... maybe someone can explain it to me in simple terms? 
️
and i'm still tryna process this tho... like tottenham manager thomas frank was talkin to both chelsea and man united at the same time last year?!?!? that's wild 
i wonder if he was just bein friendly or somethin' lol. anywayz, it sounds like frank has done a great job with tottenham so far... his approach to management is pretty interesting too - creatin an atm that fosters good teamwork and communication... maybe that's the secret to success in football 
. I mean, I get it, he wants to win and move forward, but doesn't that sound a bit... dishonest? 
. This is some serious drama right here, folks! 
The grass isn't always greener on the other side, but sometimes you just have to take a chance and make a move... especially when it comes to chasing your dreams 
. I'm not saying I don't wanna see Spurs do well, they've got some decent players, but the pressure on this guy must be intense 
. And what's with all these talks he had with other big teams? It's like he's trying to prove something 
. But honestly, his tactics and team spirit seem to be working out pretty well so far 
.
, but it's nice to see someone who wasn't just handed the job on a silver platter succeeding 
.
I mean, i watched all those vids online and thought i had it down pat but nope! ended up with more rice than noodles and a bunch of weird fish bits everywhere 
anyway back to football... thomas frank seems like a cool guy but i wonder if he's ever tried making sushi 
But seriously, he seems like a humble guy who's all about winning, which is what Tottenham needs right now. 
Still, I'm intrigued to see how he'll shape the team's identity under him... will we see more of that Brentford flair? 
, it's like he was tryin' to balance multiple egos at once. But, gotta give him credit, he's got a track record of doin' things differently and gettin' good results outta it 
, I'm curious to see how long this Frank magic lasts 
plus 24/7 work can't be easy but i gotta respect him for just goin all in 
? I mean, who among us hasn't taken on multiple roles or pursued multiple interests, only to have one of them stick? Maybe Frank's success at Tottenham is more about finding what truly resonates with him, rather than just trying to chase external validation 
. And that's where it gets really interesting – when we start to separate our public personas from who we are on the inside... do we find fulfillment in our work, or is it just a means to an end?
