Thomas Frank reveals what he will do with David Moyes after Everton vs Tottenham

Thomas Frank intends to continue a "fantastic tradition" and enjoy a drink with Euro 2024 colleague David Moyes following Tottenham's visit to Everton. Frank and Moyes developed a close friendship whilst working together as pundits during the European Championships two summers ago.

The pair went viral when they were spotted chuckling in the background of a podcast being filmed by Gary Lineker, but despite being opponents for 90 minutes at Everton's new ground on Sunday, they will set that aside shortly after the final whistle. "I will 100 per cent go in and share a beer or a glass of red with David after the game," Frank confirmed.

"We always do that. That I appreciate. Some do it, some don't. I always invite coaches in, so they are more than welcome.

"I think it's important. I think it's a fantastic tradition. We are all in the same s***. Only a few of us that actually understand each other. So, even though we can be a little bit, how can you say, tense on the touchline, in the end of the day, we understand each other."

The former Brentford manager first came up against Moyes in the summer of 2020 before an appreciation for the Scottish manager evolved into a genuine friendship. Frank chuckled: "I also like my red wine and he is also a decent drinker. He also likes his beers and red wine. He's a very good guy and I feel privileged to get to know him.

"And the first time I met him we were in the Championship and we played West Ham in a friendly. Or did I meet him before? I don't know. But that stood out.

"Then we started to meet each other in different areas outside the pitch in different events and stuff like that or for dinner with other coaches and just mutual good respect. And yeah, we worked at the Euros and we had some good evenings!".

After an impressive beginning to his tenure at Spurs, a disappointing sequence of just one victory in five fixtures has materialised either side of the October international break. Richarlison had begun the campaign in excellent form, though his most recent goal came on September 21.

With Richarlison set to face his former club Everton, Frank supported him to add to his tally of five goals against his previous employers when questioned whether the occasion could reignite his scoring touch. "Yeah, hopefully. I think Richarlison started the season very well and, touch wood, he's in a good place," Frank said.

"I can't remember a spell this long where he hadn't had anything, so big praise to the medical guys and the sport performance guys to put him in a very good place. Plus himself, working hard on that."

Spurs will be missing captain Cristian Romero (adductor) and Destiny Udogie (knee) alongside seven other players for the journey to Hill Dickinson Stadium.
