Brentford have rewarded Keith Andrews for an impressive start to his managerial career by extending his contract until June 2032, with an accompanying salary increase.
The club made clear that Andrews’ influence on the squad, both on and off the pitch, has been a key factor in the decision.
“He is a really good fit for the club and the way we like to work, as he is able to bring the best out of both players and staff alike,” said sporting director Phil Giles.
“We are excited by what we can all achieve together in the coming seasons.”
Andrews joined Brentford in June 2025, following Thomas Frank’s departure to Tottenham Hotspur, having previously served as the club’s set-piece coach.
His rise has been mercurial: after years as an assistant under Chris Wilder at Sheffield United and a spell with the Republic of Ireland alongside Stephen Kenny, Andrews brought a mixture of tactical acumen and man-management skills that has resonated with the players.
A former midfielder himself, Andrews has a 16-year playing career across English football, featuring for clubs including Wolverhampton Wanderers, Hull City, Mk Dons, and Blackburn Rovers.
He also earned 35 caps for the Republic of Ireland and was part of the squad at UEFA Euro 2012. His experiences on the field, from lower-league battles to international tournaments, have clearly influenced his approach as a coach.
Since taking the helm at Brentford, he has been praised for his ability to nurture talent while helping the club compete consistently in the Premier League and cement their place among England’s top-flight sides.
