Crystal Palace step up search with Thomas Frank in frame

Thomas Frank has emerged as the primary candidate to become Crystal Palace’s new manager following the club’s departure from Pierre Sage.

The Dane has Premier League experience from his spells in charge of Brentford and Tottenham, and is being considered a strong fit to relaunch Palace’s sporting project.

Frank’s knowledge of English football and his record of developing players are regarded as particularly valuable qualities in the Premier League, according to derbyderbyderby.it.

Talks could accelerate in the coming hours as Crystal Palace aim to appoint a new head coach as soon as possible.
