Brentford recently appointed Keith Andrews from Ireland as the new head coach. Keith Andrews said that he is very grateful for the club's support and believes that Brentford has great potential. He also insisted that it is very important to remain humble.

In the 2024/25 Premier League, Brentford finished 10th under the leadership of Thomas Frank, but Thomas Frank, who coached Brentford for many years, resigned a few weeks ago and became the new coach of Tottenham Hotspur.

Talking about how it feels to become Brentford manager, Keith Andrews, 44, shared, “The main feeling is one of humility. I feel very honoured to have been chosen to lead this club into its next chapter. I am very grateful to the owners, the board and everyone else who have supported this decision. I feel this is an opportunity that I am fully capable of taking on and am ready for.”

“There are so many things that excite me, the potential of this club, the players and the staff that make this a great club. Brentford is an amazing place and I have experienced that over the past 12 months and that will continue to be the case. It is vital for me to keep this atmosphere and energy going at the club.”

Keith Andrews said, "In the field of sports, there are many words that are often mentioned, such as culture, but they are often not really practiced. However, in this place, such values are practiced every day. I think it is very important to keep the club humble and continue to grow."

In addition, Brentford will travel to challenge the powerful Nottingham Forest in the first round of the 2025/26 Premier League.

Keith Andrews said, "We want to win and be competitive and maintain our advantage. We also want to show impact and resilience and stay organized. We want to have wonderful moments and participate in important games, but most importantly, we must have an attitude and a determination to continue to improve. If all of this is done, then the rest will develop smoothly."

“Knowing the players well is a big advantage and I have a good connection with them. This team has a lot of potential and I have every confidence in them.

Keith Andrews also stressed, "We will formulate a clear development plan, not only to train young players, but also more senior players. Because growth does not stop after players reach a certain age, we will fully support them in all aspects."

"I am very honoured and moved to be the new head coach of this amazing club. I love this place and I will devote myself to continuing the success of this club."
