Club Management Hail Andrews’ Impact
Brentford’s director of football, Phil Giles, said: “Keith has done an outstanding job, the team are playing well and the things we thought we could be better at this season have all improved.
“He is a really good fit for the club and the way we like to work, as he is able to bring the best out of both players and staff alike.
“Everyone at Brentford will be pleased to hear that Keith will be with us for many years to come and I’m excited by what we can all achieve together in the coming seasons.”
Competitive Progress in Cup Competitions
During Andrews’ tenure this season, Brentford have progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup, where they are set to face West Ham, and made a strong run to the quarter-finals of the League Cup.
Background and Coaching Experience
Before being appointed as manager, Andrews served on Brentford’s coaching staff as set-piece coach during Thomas Frank’s tenure. His coaching experience also includes spells at Sheffield United and MK Dons.
In contrast, Thomas Frank, who had been replaced by Andrews, subsequently endured a difficult season and was dismissed by Tottenham.
