Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank refused to rule out the idea of international management in the future but insisted he is prioritising a return to club football in the next stage of his career.
Frank has been out of work since he was dismissed by Tottenham in February after just eight months in charge of the Lilywhites.
The Dane moved to Spurs following a hugely successful seven-year stint with Brentford, where he guided the Bees into the Premier League before consolidating them in England's top-flight.
But Frank endured a miserable run of just two wins in 17 matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium which ultimately resulted in his demise.
Frank has been linked to numerous vacancies since his acrimonious Tottenham exit, including Crystal Palace and Fulham.
The 52-year-old distanced himself from an immediate return to management prior to the World Cup, posting a lengthy statement indicating he will be taking time out during the summer.
However, whilst on punditry duty for the BBC ahead of Czechia's clash with South Africa, Frank insisted he fully intends to return to club management at some stage - and even hinted at a possible venture onto the international scene.
Quizzed on whether he would be interested in managing at a World Cup, Frank said: "It would be appealing to me one day. When? I never know with timing."
But the Dane aims to return to club football first, adding: "My first priority will be taking a club again at one point. I always love the Euros and the World Cup.
"I am from Denmark, so that would be my top priority to be the head coach of Denmark if it is to be an international team. I am an open guy, so let’s see what happens."
Roberto De Zerbi was named Frank's permanent successor at Tottenham and guided the club to Premier League survival.
Frank spoke fondly of his time in North London and insisted the club has a "bright future" despite two consecutive 17th-placed finishes.
His statement read: "I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has reached out over the past few months. Your support and encouragement have been greatly appreciated.
"Leaving Tottenham has given me the chance to step back and reflect on my journey so far. Football management is a profession that demands complete commitment every single day, and periods like this are a rare opportunity to assess, learn and gain a fresh perspective.
"From the outside, it may have looked like a time of many challenges at Tottenham when results were not what we wanted. From within, however, it becomes clear why the club is so special - full of talented people who work tirelessly every day. I have no doubt Tottenham has a bright future.
