Brentford Football Club Announces New Head Coach
Brentford Football Club is poised to announce Keith Andrews as their new head coach, finalizing a three-year agreement with the 44-year-old.

Keith Andrews’ Coaching Background
Andrews, who has been serving as Brentford’s set-piece coach since the beginning of the 2024-25 season, brings a wealth of experience with him. Before his appointment at Brentford, he was part of Chris Wilder’s coaching staff at Sheffield United and has held the role of assistant manager at Milton Keynes Dons. Furthermore, he collaborated with Stephen Kenny as part of the coaching team for both the senior and under-21 Republic of Ireland national squads until Kenny’s exit in late 2023.
Thomas Frank’s Departure
Frank’s transition to Spurs not only included a new challenge but also involved bringing several of his backroom staff, namely Justin Cochrane, Chris Haslam, and Joe Newton, along with him. In a heartfelt message to Brentford’s supporters following his move, Frank expressed his deep connection to the club and community, thanking everyone for the memorable journey he experienced there.
Legacy of Thomas Frank
Under Frank’s leadership, Brentford made a remarkable entry into the Premier League, achieving finishes of 13th, 9th, 16th, and 10th over the course of four seasons since their promotion in 2021. He has left behind a legacy that includes a strong bond with both the players and fans.
Looking Ahead with Keith Andrews
As for Andrews, his extensive 21-year playing career featured stints at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Blackburn Rovers, and MK Dons, and he has earned 35 caps for the Republic of Ireland before concluding his playing days in 2015. With Andrews at the helm, Brentford fans will be eager to see how he will continue the club’s development in the Premier League.
