Tottenham: Agent explains why Thomas Frank has not yet addressed Spurs sacking

Former Brentford boss has not given any interviews since leaving Spurs in February

Thomas Frank ’s agent has said that the former Tottenham manager will take some time out before deciding his next managerial move.

Frank has been out of work since he was sacked by Spurs in February following a run of eight Premier League games without a win.

Spurs were 16th in the top-flight when ex-Brentford stalwart Frank departed after eight months, five points above the relegation zone, but results have not improved since he left.

Tottenham now find themselves inside the bottom three and still searching for their first league win of the calendar year after new boss Roberto De Zerbi started his tenure with a 1-0 defeat away at Sunderland last weekend.

De Zerbi took over from Igor Tudor, who replaced Frank on an interim basis before leaving by mutual consent after just seven games at the helm.

While Spurs’ season has spiralled, Frank has stayed quiet on his plans for the future and has yet to comment on his ill-fated spell in charge, having rejected multiple media requests for an interview.

His agent, Allan Bak, has now admitted that Frank is taking some time out of the game before assessing his next move.

"He is going to relax a bit and visit friends and family. Still a little too early for interviews,” Bak said, in quotes to Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet relayed by Sport Witness .

“He is enjoying himself with family and friends right now. [He] has decided to pull the plug and relax."

With only six games left in the Premier League this season, Spurs sit two points adrift of safety ahead of Saturday’s match at home to Brighton.
