Thomas Frank (born 9 October 1973) is a Danish football manager most recently in charge of Brøndby IF.

Coaching career

Frank who has a degree in coaching and sports psychology started his management career in 1995. He coached various youth teams on Sjælland until 2008.[1]

On 1 July 2008 he replaced Glen Riddersholm as manager of the Danish national under-17 football team.[2]

In the summer of 2012 he was promoted to manager of the Danish national under-19 football team.[3] Despite having success in the qualification for the 2013 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship his team failed to qualify losing the last game 1–0 against Portugal.[4]

On 10 June 2013 he was named the new manager of Brøndby IF in the Danish Superliga.[5] He resigned on 9 March 2016, when several Danish newspapers found out that Brøndby-chairman Jan Bech Andersen under a pseudonym had criticised Franks management of the club on an internet fan forum.[6]
