Keith Andrews will be officially unveiled as Brentford boss after the former Irish international put pen to paper on a three-year deal with the club.
Andrews arrived at the club last season where he was employed as set piece coach and has made a big impression, being named as successor to Thomas Frank.
The former midfielder played 35 times for his country as coached with MK Dons, and was part of Stephen Kenny’s backroom staff with Ireland.
Andrews is the first Irish international to manage in the Premier League since Chris Hughton left Brighton and Hove Albion in 2019. Much will be made of Andrews’ backroom staff appointment with reports in the English media stating he was interested in bringing Damien Duff on board, however, he has since dismissed the link.
Brentford will return for pre-season training in the coming weeks and kick off their Premier League campaign against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, 17 August.
