The full picture
Thomas Frank is being considered by Crystal Palace as a potential replacement for Pierre Sage, according to a report in Football Insider, as cited by Spurs Web. Frank has been out of work since leaving Tottenham seven months ago. Palace have identified him as a potential new head coach due to their current struggles under Sage.
Crystal Palace are making progress in their efforts to hire Frank, with discussions being held among third parties, making a potential deal 'increasingly possible'. Frank is the leading contender to replace Sage if he is sacked, given the club's poor performance with just seven points from their first eight games.
Although Bournemouth also has Frank on their wishlist, he is keen on joining Crystal Palace instead. The timing of a potential appointment is sensitive as Palace face Tottenham, Frank's former club, on Saturday, and a loss could lead to Sage being sacked.

Source context
Thomas Frank could soon become the head coach of a third London club following stints at Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford. While Frank spent nine years at Brentford, he did not even make it nine months at Tottenham, with the Dane being sacked at the start of March with the Lilywhites hovering just above the relegation zone. After a short but disastrous interim experiment with Igor Tudor, Spurs needed Roberto De Zerbi to perform a great rescue act at the end of last season to keep them in the Premier League. Thomas Frank has been out of work since leaving the North London club, but he may soon return to the Premier League, seven months on from being let go by Spurs.
