Move over, Hamlet – there's a new Prince of Denmark in town.
Good old William Shakespeare knocked out a few decent lines, and some of them are still recycled from his most famous play more than 400 years later. Brentford head coach Thomas Frank will soon be in such high demand that Hamlet's great dilemma needs urgent adaptation down by Kew Bridge: To Bee, or not to Bee, that is the question.
Frank is one of only two Danish managers to have graced the Premier League – the other, Michael Laudrup, won the League Cup with Swansea – and it is surprising there have not been more because the boys Dane good. Beneath his rock-star hair and relentless positivity, Frank is a “driven” soul whose playing career of no fixed distinction has not stopped him from becoming one of Europe's most coveted coaches.
