Keith Andrews to take over as Brentford manager following Thomas Frank’s departure

Brentford's newly appointed manager Keith Andrews

    Key Takeaways:

  • Keith Andrews set to become Brentford manager
  • Has never worked as head coach before
  • Signs 3-year deal after Thomas Frank exit

Brentford have made an interesting decision regarding who will succeed Thomas Frank as the club’s manager. According to Sky Sports, that person is Keith Andrews, who has been Brentford’s set-piece coach since last summer.

The 44-year-old former defensive midfielder has previously worked as an assistant at MK Dons, Sheffield United, and the Republic of Ireland national team, but has never managed a team as head coach. He is set to sign a three-year contract, which will be officially announced by the club very soon.

As is known, Thomas Frank left Brentford after seven years at the club to take over at Tottenham.

Brentford spoke with several high-profile managers but ultimately decided that Andrews could provide continuity by following in Frank’s footsteps.
