Thomas Frank would leave football if he is criticized like Steve Bruce was
In a recent interview, Thomas Frank stated that “It’s so easy these days to criticise the manager. In modern times its part of the job that you apparently need to be criticized if things aren’t going your way.”
The Danish manager further questioned if the criticism is worth it by saying, “That’s why sometimes you think ‘is it really worth it?’ I love working with people, I love working in football. I’ve been privileged in my career to work with good people. There are highs and lows. It is a tough job. So maybe sometimes I think there are other things you also need to do in your life.”
Thomas Frank further went on to say that there are more important things in life other than football; he further shared that, “I’m pretty convinced I have my priorities right in terms of friends and family in life. And if I don’t do this I’ll just (do) an even more important job, a schoolteacher, or work with children.”
