Thomas Frank

Denmark

After a short playing career in amateur football as a midfielder, Frank began his coaching career with the U8 team at hometown club Frederiksværk in 1995. He moved to the U12 team two years later and then on to Hvidovre in 1998, B93 in 2004 and Lyngby in 2006. In July 2008, Frank was appointed manager of the Denmark national U16 and U17 teams. In 2011, he led the U17 team to the European U17 Championship finals for the first time in eight years (advancing to the semi-finals before losing 2–0 to Germany) and to its first U17 World Cup, in which the team was eliminated in the group stage. Frank was promoted to the Denmark U19 manager's job in July 2012, but he failed to qualify for the 2013 European U19 Championship. During his time working for the DBU, Frank also acted as manager during an unofficial U18 match in 2010 and presided over one U20 match in 2012, covering for Morten Wieghorst. He also served as assistant for the U18, U17, U16 and women's U17 teams on an ad-hoc basis.

Brøndby

Frank was named as manager of Danish Superliga club Brøndby on 10 June 2013, his first position in senior football, replacing Auri Skarbalius, who was dismissed. While Brøndby has historically been one of the most successful teams in Denmark, they had recently struggled, finishing just 5 points above relegated AC Horsens the season prior. Frank achieved fourth and third-place finishes in the 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons, high enough to qualify for the Europa League…

Frank is married and has three children. He was awarded a BA in Physical Education by the Copenhagen Institute of Sports Medicine in 1999 and studied sport psychology and coaching-based leadership at the same institution between 2002 and 2005. He also worked at a kindergarten and later taught at Ishøj Business College in 2004. Prior to moving to London in December 2016, Frank and his family lived in Hvidovre. Frank was a member of the BBC Sport commentary team at Euro 2024 and the FIFA 2026 World Cup.
