Crystal Palace intensifies negotiations with Thomas Frank to appoint him as head coach

Crystal Palace continue negotiations with Danish coach Thomas Frank, the former manager of Tottenham, in order to reach a final agreement for him to take over the team following the departure of Frenchman Pierre Sagh, which the club has officially announced.

Sky Sports reported that Crystal Palace officials are holding a new round of talks with Frank today, in an attempt to finalize the agreement and complete his appointment as the new head coach of the team.

The network indicated that other names are still on the club's table, with communications and discussions ongoing regarding some candidates, but Frank remains the most prominent and closest candidate for the role.

Crystal Palace have sacked Pierre Sagh after 16 matches in all competitions, with the team sitting bottom of the Premier League. Meanwhile, Frank is not linked to any club since his dismissal from managing Tottenham in February.

The Danish coach has achieved notable successes during his time with Brentford, leading them to the Premier League before taking over at Tottenham in June 2025. Sky Sports +1
