Keith Andrews is not bound by idealistic football tactics and prefers to give full play to the players' strengths.


Brentford's new head coach Keith Andrews recently shared his coaching style in an interview and said that as a head coach he would rather bring out the strengths and advantages of his players rather than sticking to an idealized way of playing.


With Thomas Frank becoming the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, Brentford officially appointed 44-year-old Keith Andrews as the team's new head coach earlier. Keith Andrews previously served as set-piece coach at Brentford.


When discussing his journey to becoming a head coach, Keith Andrews shared, "I knew two or three years ago that I was ready to be a head coach. As for whether I could have predicted a role of this level, probably not. But I consciously planned my way to where I am today step by step."


"I was assistant coach of the Irish national team three years ago. It's been a long journey coaching the national team, from the U21 team to the senior team for five years in total. It's been a long journey."


As for his personal coaching style, Keith Andrews said, "I will be the most authentic myself every day, and this will not change. My current responsibilities are certainly different from my previous positions, but I have an excellent team around me, and we will continue to strengthen. I will not imitate anyone, but I have learned a lot from many people, and I will stick to my own style."


"I have to really get to know everyone at the club and I have always believed that the manager should play to the strengths of the players he has, rather than just sticking to an ideal way of playing."


Keith Andrews continued, "I really like the team's style of play over the years, and I like the personality, ability and potential of our players. What we need to do now is to continue to improve on the original basis."


In addition, Keith Andrews also said, "Thomas Frank is someone I admire and respect very much. We have both been very busy recently, but we have been in touch in the past few days. We have established a good cooperative relationship and friendship, which will continue. When everything settles down, we will continue to contact each other."


"I had a lot of respect for Thomas Frank, even before I came to the club. After working with him for 12 months, I have even more respect for him."
