Thomas Frank left Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month to be replaced by former Juventus boss Igor Tudor
Former Tottenham Hotspur back Thomas Frank has been tipped to get another job in the Premier League in the future, with Crystal Palace suggested as a potential destination. Frank left Spurs earlier this month and has subsequently been replaced by Igor Tudor, who has taken charge until the end of the season.
Frank’s last match in charge of Tottenham was the 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United in the Premier League earlier this month, a result which leaves them in 16th place in the table and just five points above the relegation zone.
It remains to be seen if and when Frank will return to management, having previously spent seven years in charge of Brentford before making the move to north London last summer.
Despite the struggles in the Premier League this term, Frank still managed to guide Tottenham to a fourth-place finish in the league phase of the Champions League, which secured a place in the last-16 and avoided the play-offs.
Frank’s future has now been discussed on talkSPORT by presenters Simon Jordan and Jim White. Jordan has explained why Frank will be able to find himself back in management in the Premier League, but believes it will not be with a "big club".

"Has [Frank] been diminished? Of course he has. But success isn't always a straight line," Jordan said on talkSPORT. "He will have to rebuild a little bit, but now what is being considered is that he's not capable of managing a big club. He's clearly capable of managing clubs.
"People are now going to go after him because of the job Keith Andrews is doing [at Brentford]. But if the culture of the club is right, you hand over a decent opportunity.
"But it will be interesting to find out from him what lessons he thinks he's learned from the mistakes at Tottenham.
"He's now back in the club of managers who can manage in the Premier League but only a certain type of club. But is that an awful thing? To be able to manage, but just not a big-six club."
It was then put to Jordan by White if Palace could be considered the next opportunity for Frank, with Oliver Glasner’s future at Selhurst Park still uncertain.
"Yeah, possibly. A Palace job might be a reasonable job, but Palace fans might say, 'You catapulted Tottenham into a relegation battle, we don't want any of that.'
"But there must be a raft of loads of other reasons behind it. But Thomas Frank's next opportunity will be a lesser club."
Glasner's future at Palace has been the subject of speculation for much of the season, with the 51-year-old expected to leave the Eagles in the summer when his contract expires.
However, with Palace struggling in recent weeks, having won just one Premier League match since the turn of the year, Glasner was asked if he still plans to see out the remaining months on his contract.
"Let's see. What the future brings, we never know," Glasner told reporters on Friday.
Tottenham and Palace are due to meet in the Premier League on March 5.
