If sharks are predators, why are it’s eyes on the sides of the head?

I read in school that prey have eyes on the sides of the head (sheep, cows, etc) to spot predators coming whereas predators have eyes on the front. Is this rule not applicable to marine biology?

Furthermore, it’s not “predators have front facing eyes” but more of “as a rule of thumb, mammalian predators tend to have front facing eyes”. Eagles and crocodiles for example are predators and have side facing eyes.
