Brentford Appoints Andrews as Head Coach

Brentford FC has appointed former Ireland international Keith Andrews as their new head coach on a three-year contract, replacing Thomas Frank who left to manage Tottenham Hotspur. Andrews, previously the club's set-piece coach, takes on his first senior managerial role after impressing Brentford's hierarchy and interview panel. The club considered several external candidates but chose Andrews to maintain internal continuity, following the same strategy used with Frank. Andrews brings experience from coaching roles at MK Dons, Sheffield United, and the Irish national team setups, and is now the only Irish manager in the Premier League. Supporters have expressed concerns over his lack of managerial experience, but Brentford believes internal promotion is less risky than hiring externally. The club is expected to announce Andrews' supporting staff soon, as many members have joined Frank at Tottenham.
