Frank’s journey with Brentford has been a tale of resilience and steady growth. Since taking over in 2018, he has led the Bees to new summits of excellence and in the process has gained a reputation for often <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/thomas-frank-reaction-erik-ten-hag-sacking-brentford-boss-quizzed-man-utd-job/blte593ce8248e0fff1" target="_blank">punching above their weight.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Despite being linked to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-erik-ten-hag-thomas-tuchel-mauricio-pochettino-brentford-thomas-frank-ineos/blt632dfa30470b6be0" target="_blank">several high-profile jobs,</a> Frank's loyalty to Brentford remains firm. However, receiving admiration from the football community is something Frank candidly appreciates.</p><p>"Of course, it’s nice to get praise," said Frank to <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/thomas-frank-issues-response-missing-34022117" target="_blank"><em>The </em><em>Mirror</em></a><em>. </em>"It makes you feel good and it feeds the ego - and we all need to feed our egos. It’s good when you turn on the TV and people are saying nice things about you. I’m only human. So I might get a thought in my head if something sounds nice - but it only lasts for 10 seconds because I have to focus on the job I have and the things I can affect.</p><p>"If I wanted to leave, I’d be political and tell the world I was happy while behind the scenes I would be working to get away. But that’s not happening. If someone knocks on my door, then I will decide. There have been offers in the past that I've turned down because of what I have here."</p>

WHAT FRANK SAID

<p>While Frank’s commitment to Brentford remains strong, he has not ruled out a future departure. Reflecting on what lies ahead, he said: "But you never know what’s going to happen in the future. Will there always be enough inspiration, development, whatever, for me here? Maybe there will come a time when I just don’t find it interesting any more.</p><p>"We all grow and develop and perhaps I would like another challenge in the future. I’m a transparent and honest guy. I will see what the world brings to me and take it from there."</p>
