I've had job offers and am very ambitious but doubt I'll find a club that does everything better than Brentford

THOMAS FRANK is reluctant to accept he is one of Brentford's most prized assets, but his record speaks for itself.

The Bees were 18th in the Championship when the Dane took over in December 2016. After taking them to the Premier League in 2021, Frank guided the club to 13th and then ninth place last season - missing out on Europe by just two points.

Brentford have established themselves as a stable top-fight club and a team that Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta have all admitted they do not enjoy facing.

Frank's role in that rise has earned him new admirers. He admits he has turned down recent job offers because he feels there is still so much more to achieve with Brentford.

"Yeah, I have", Frank (below) tells Standard Sport. "But I doubt I'll find a club that does everything better than Brentford. I've got a good daily life, which is important. What will happen in the future, I don't know. I'm very ambitious that could be here, that could be somewhere else.

"If it turns out that I one day move, it's because I felt that was the right decision. But there's too much I want to improve here." Lauded for their family feel and buy low, sell high transfer strategy, Brentford have established themselves as one of the best-run clubs in the Premier League.

After recovering from a sticky start to the season, the Bees face Luton at home tomorrow knowing a win will lift them into the top half of the table.
