"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. Given our progress this season, I'm really happy that we have agreed this extension within the first nine months. Keith has done an outstanding job, the team are playing well and the things we thought we could be better at this season have all improved."
"His promotion from set-piece coach raised plenty of eyebrows, given his lack of experience in the number one position. Andrews was appointed last summer as the successor to Thomas Frank after the Dane left for Tottenham. But few expected him to make such an impact at Brentford, particularly after their summer transfer window departures."
Keith Andrews, a former Ireland midfielder, has impressed Brentford with his managerial performance since his appointment last summer as Thomas Frank's successor. Despite raising eyebrows due to his limited top-level management experience, Andrews has delivered remarkable results. Brentford lost several key players including Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wisse, Christian Norgaard, and Mark Flekken during the transfer window. Nevertheless, Andrews guided the team to seventh place in the Premier League, reached the League Cup quarter-finals, and advanced to the FA Cup fifth round. In recognition of his outstanding start, Brentford rewarded him with a contract extension through summer 2032, upgrading from his original three-year deal.
