Brentford<\/b><\/a> head coach Keith Andrews has signed a new contract with the club, running until 2032.<\/b><\/p>\n The Irishman has impressed since stepping up from his role as set-piece coach to replace Thomas Frank in June, with the Bees sitting seventh in the Premier League and eyeing European qualification for the first time in their history. <\/p>\n Andrews, 45, said he felt as though he needed to “earn my stripes” after following on from Frank’s successful seven-year tenure in west London, during which the club were promoted to the Premier League.<\/p>\n “Naturally, I think there would have been a slight concern – if I were living in Dublin looking at Thomas Frank leaving and the set-piece coach taking over, I probably would have been a little bit worried too! So, I really understood it,” Andrews told Brentford’s website., external<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n “I was always going to grasp the opportunity I was getting with both hands.<\/p>\n “I wanted to be very humble about it, work really, really hard, and basically just prove to myself – more than anyone – that I was capable of doing this job to a level it needed to be.”<\/p>\n The club’s director of football, Phil Giles, added that Andrews has proven to be a “really good fit for the club” after an “outstanding” first season at the helm.<\/p>\n “When Keith accepted the job last summer, he signed a three-year contract, but the intention was always that we’d review this at the earliest opportunity,” said Giles.<\/p>\n “Given our progress this season, I’m really happy that we have agreed this extension within the first nine months.”<\/p>\n Brentford<\/a> return to Premier League action on Saturday when they host Burnley<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
