The Danish midfielder experienced a cardiac arrest while playing at Euro 2020, leading to the implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device. This prompted his departure from Inter due to Serie A regulations, and he opted to join Brentford in England in January 2022.
Frank’s fondness for Eriksen stems from their time together in the Denmark Under-17 national team. Reflecting on their connection during an episode of ‘Moments That Made Me’, Frank shared how he persuaded Eriksen to join Brentford.
Describing Eriksen as possibly the most significant signing in Brentford’s recent history, Frank reminisced about coaching him in the Denmark U17 national team when he was 15 or 16 years old.
He recounted a pivotal moment when his son encouraged him to reach out to Eriksen, who had not yet announced his intentions. Eriksen’s decision to return to football in early December prompted Frank to act. Seeing Eriksen return to the fold after 14 years, now experienced, confident, and humble, was a gratifying experience for Frank.
Eriksen later transferred to Manchester United in the summer of 2022 but struggled to secure a regular starting position under Erik ten Hag. Despite this, Frank asserted that Eriksen would always be welcomed back at Brentford if he sought regular playing time elsewhere.
Expressing his understanding of Eriksen’s move to United, Frank acknowledged his contributions and expressed openness to his return. Eriksen’s contract with United runs until 2025, leaving open the possibility of a reunion with Frank at Brentford in the future.
