Brentford have appointed Keith Andrews as the club’s new head coach on a three-year deal following Thomas Frank’s departure to Tottenham.
Andrews, 44, joined the Bees last summer to work under Frank as the club’s set-piece coach.
Having previously been on the coaching staff with Sheffield United, MK Dons and the Republic of Ireland, Andrews’ appointment is the Irishman’s first step into management.
Brentford considered a number of external candidates for the job including Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna and Francesco Farioli, who left Ajax last month.
