Andrews poised to take first senior managerial role
Previous coaching roles include Ireland and MK Dons
Brentford have agreed a deal with their set-piece coach Keith Andrews for the former Republic of Ireland midfielder to replace Thomas Frank as the manager.
Andrews is understood to have impressed Brentford’s hierarchy when interviewed for the role after Frank’s departure for Tottenham. Frank’s former assistant Justin Cochrane had been a candidate to step up before he followed Frank to Spurs.
Brentford are believed to have considered a number of external candidates including Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna and Francesco Farioli, who left Ajax last month. But Andrews, who was appointed by Brentford in July 2024 having been on the coaching staff with Sheffield United, Ireland and MK Dons, is poised to be handed his first senior managerial role.
