Strasbourg eyes Thomas Frank as O’Neil’s abrupt exit forces quick hire

RC Strasbourg Alsace, owned by BlueCo, are weighing former Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank as a replacement for Gary O’Neil, who departed barely six months after taking the job, Toubache‑Ter, with the club set to begin pre‑season on July 8.

Gary O’Neil, a Briton, took over the Strasbourg job after replacing Liam Rosenior, who was bound for Chelsea. O’Neil later returned to the Premier League with Ipswich Town.

His tenure at RC Strasbourg Alsace lasted barely six months before the unexpected exit. The departure leaves the Alsatians searching for a new manager.

Thomas Frank, a Dane, is currently a free agent following an ill‑fated spell at Tottenham Hotspur. The former Brentford FC head coach was dismissed in February after a poor season for the Spurs.

Frank had succeeded Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham’s manager in North London. His brief spell ended when the club’s results fell short of expectations.

RC Strasbourg Alsace must act quickly, as the squad is scheduled to start pre‑season on July 8. The timing adds pressure to fill the vacancy before training begins.

According to the insider, Frank is “in BlueCo’s crosshairs” as one of the club’s leading candidates. The club’s internal leads have highlighted the Dane as a potential successor.
