Birmingham City is reportedly interested in appointing Thomas Frank as their next head coach, according to recent reports from Swedish outlet FotbollDirekt. The Danish manager, currently in charge of Brentford in the English Premier League, has drawn attention for his tactical approach and player development record.
Frank has led Brentford since 2018, guiding the club from the Championship to Premier League stability with a focus on data-driven recruitment and structured pressing systems. His work has been widely noted in football analytics circles for blending traditional coaching with modern performance metrics.
The potential move comes as Birmingham City seeks to strengthen its technical direction following a period of managerial turnover. Although no official offer has been confirmed, sources indicate early discussions are underway.
Such a hiring would represent a continued trend in English football toward hiring coaches with backgrounds in analytical and progressive methodologies, a shift mirrored across several Championship and Premier League clubs in recent seasons.
For now, Brentford has not commented on the speculation, and Frank remains under contract through 2025. Any potential transfer would require negotiation between the clubs and agreement on compensation.
