Keith Andrews has signed a new contract with Brentford to keep him at the club until 2032.
The Irishman, who succeeded Thomas Frank last summer, initially signed a three-year deal. But having defied widespread expectation to have Brentford seventh in the Premier League and into the fifth round of the FA Cup, the club has moved to extend his stay.
“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,” Brentford director of football Phil Giles told the club website.
“Given our progress this season, I’m really happy that we have agreed this extension within the first nine months.
“Keith has done an outstanding job, the team are playing well and the things we thought we could be better at this season have all improved.
“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.
“Everyone at Brentford will be pleased to hear that Keith will be with us for many years to come, and I’m excited by what we can all achieve together in the coming seasons.
