Brentford<\/a> head coach Keith Andrews has signed a new contract with the club, running until 2032.<\/p>\n The Irishman has impressed since stepping up from his role as set-piece coach to replace Thomas Frank in June, with the Bees sitting seventh in the Premier League and eyeing European qualification for the first time in their history. <\/p>\n Andrews, 45, said he felt as though he needed to "earn my stripes" after following on from Frank's successful seven-year tenure in west London, during which the club were promoted to the Premier League.<\/p>\n "Naturally, I think there would have been a slight concern – if I were living in Dublin looking at Thomas Frank leaving and the set-piece coach taking over, I probably would have been a little bit worried too! So, I really understood it," Andrews told Brentford's website., external<\/a><\/p>\n "I was always going to grasp the opportunity I was getting with both hands.<\/p>\n "I wanted to be very humble about it, work really, really hard, and basically just prove to myself – more than anyone – that I was capable of doing this job to a level it needed to be."<\/p>\n The club's director of football, Phil Giles, added that Andrews has proven to be a "really good fit for the club" after an "outstanding" first season at the helm.<\/p>\n "When Keith accepted the job last summer, he signed a three-year contract, but the intention was always that we'd review this at the earliest opportunity," said Giles.<\/p>\n "Given our progress this season, I'm really happy that we have agreed this extension within the first nine months."<\/p>\n Brentford<\/a> return to Premier League action on Saturday when they host Burnley<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow your club with BBC Sport<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Listen to the latest Football Daily podcast<\/p>\n <\/a><\/li>\n Get football news sent straight to your phone<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Brentford boss Andrews signs new deal to 2032Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Keith Andrews has guided Brentford to wins over Manchester United and Liverpool this seasonByKeifer MacDonaldBBC S…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":8613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-decor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8612\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.niviyo.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Related topics<\/h2>\n
