Brentford boss Thomas Frank has spoken of his admiration for Everton counterpart Sean Dyche.

Frank was full of praise for Dyche after his decade at the Clarets, where he guided them from the Championship to Europa League qualification during his tenure.

“I like Sean a lot," said Frank, "I've been privileged to meet him a few times when we've been together for, I don't want to call them leadership groups, but when we've been together outside [of football]. I enjoyed it, it was good.

“I also texted him when he got the job at Everton to welcome him back to the Premier League.

"It's where he should be and he's a coach that's done so much for the league."
