Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank has secured his first job since his Spurs sacking earlier this year.

Thomas Frank has been out of work since he was sacked by Tottenham back in February following an abysmal run that saw Spurs teeter slightly above the drop zone.

The Dane left as the worst manager in Tottenham’s history in the Premier League era, having managed a 26.9 win rate.

Spurs were atrocious in 2026 under the former Brentford manager, going two months without a win in the Premier League under his tutelage.

Spurs Web has since revealed that, following his Tottenham sacking, Frank decided to pull the plug on football and was resting.

However, it looks like the Dane is now ready to get back into the beautiful game. That is according to Standard Sport, who report that Thomas Frank has joined the BBC Match of the Day lineup.

The former Spurs boss will also be joined by former Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld, as the BBC looks to refresh the sports show.

Frank could offer insight into Spurs struggles

Since departing from Tottenham, Frank has not spoken openly about his time in north London with the media. However, his new job could allow for that, offering Spurs fans some insight as to why things crumbled.

Match of the Day is set to return this evening (Saturday 22) as the 2026-27 Premier League season gets underway.

Spurs take to the field in their Premier League opener against Frank’s former side, Brentford, in what is De Zerbi’s first full season as Tottenham boss.
