Brentford share the reasoning behind picking Thomas Frank’s successor
- Brentford has appointed Keith Andrews, previously their set-piece coach, as the new manager on a three-year contract.
- Thomas Frank departed Brentford after seven years to take over as manager at Tottenham, succeeding Ange Postecoglou.
- The promotion of Andrews aligns with Brentford's policy of promoting from within, especially after former assistant Justin Cochrane also joined Frank at Spurs.
- This marks his first managerial position, following a playing career and coaching roles with MK Dons and the Ireland national team.
- Brentford's director of football, Phil Giles, praised Andrews as a very good fit who will bring evolution while maintaining the club's established playing style, despite potential player departures this summer.
