Andrews extends Brentford deal until 2032

Brentford head coach Keith Andrews has signed a new contract extension with the club until 2032 following an impressive start to his tenure.

Keith Andrews has extended his stay at Brentford until 2032, just nine months after replacing Thomas Frank as head coach. The Irishman has guided the Bees to seventh place in the Premier League, with European qualification now in their sights for the first time in the club's history.

Andrews, who previously served as set-piece coach under Frank, acknowledged the pressure of following a successful manager. "I really understood it," he said. "I was always going to grasp the opportunity with both hands." Director of football Phil Giles praised Andrews as a "really good fit" for the club, with Brentford set to host Burnley in their next Premier League fixture.
