Thomas Frank is already in line for another Premier League job after being sacked by Tottenham Hotspur, with Spurs sitting 16th in the table, below his potential next employers
Thomas Frank is already the favourite to become the next Crystal Palace manager after Tottenham Hotspur sacked him.
Oliver Glasner has already announced he will be leaving Palace at the end of this season when his contract expires. The FA Cup -winning manager is one of several options Spurs could choose to replace Frank in north London.
Tottenham's former coach is now also available to move in the opposite direction. Staying in London would have obvious appeal to the Dane after spending eight-and-a-half years at Brentford, first as an assistant head coach before eventually replacing Dean Smith in the hot seat.

Frank, however, has already been warned that taking the job would be far from straightforward. The club's current manager has consistently complained about their recruitment.
Glasner most recently expressed disappointment at missing out on signing Dwight McNeil from Everton on transfer deadline day. He told Sky Sports : "We are all disappointed that this deal didn't happen.
"I already planned that next day on training with him. And then, right at the end of the transfer, it can always happen on deadline day - so many things can happen that the deal doesn't happen.
"And this, I was told, is that the terms of the deal changed in the last hours. And then the time is just too short to get the deal over the line, and then the deal failed.
"I can understand that he and his family are disappointed. But believe me, I had the same feeling, because I really have a huge appreciation for him.
Glasner added: "We're all disappointed that we couldn't get this deal done. And unfortunately, it happened in the last hour. And so I can understand his disappointment. I share his disappointment."
