Andrews: I've had to earn my stripes as Brentford boss
Keith Andrews says he is 'proud' to have signed a new six-year deal at Brentford, adding that new he had to prove himself.
He was the former set-piece coach under Thomas Frank, and took over from him when the Dane joined Spurs in the summer, with some questioning whether he was the right man for the job.
But his tenure so far has seen the Bees push for European football.
Im very proud, he said in quotes to the club's official media. It wasnt long ago that I was signing my first contract so, to be sat here however many months later, thats probably a good sign!
Its felt like its gone pretty quick, a lot has happened, but Im just really proud to get that real vote of confidence from Matthew Benham, Phil Giles, Lee Dykes and Ben Ryan.
Everyone knows that Im pretty privileged to be head coach of this amazing club, so to do that for lots and lots more years will be nice.
I did feel like I needed to earn my stripes.
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.
I was always going to grasp the opportunity I was getting with both hands.
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.
Andrews pens new Brentford contract
Brentford manager Keith Andrews has signed a new contract until 2032.
He will remain at the Gtech for the next six years after replacing Thomas Frank in the top role in the summer.
It has been a successful season so far too. The Bees are pushing for European football, currently in seventh place - just five points from Chelsea in fifth.
When Keith accepted the job last summer, he signed a three-year contract, but the intention was always that wed review this at the earliest opportunity, said Brentford director of football Phil Giles.
Given our progress this season, Im 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 Im excited by what we can all achieve together in the coming seasons.

'Casemiro keen on Europe move ahead of Man Utd exit'
Casemiro is keen to continue his career in Europe after he leaves Manchester United this summer, according to The Sun.
The 34-year-old is reportedly confident he can still play at the highest level, with Italy a possible landing destination for the midfielder.
United confirmed Casemiro would leave the club at the end of his contract in June last month, ending a four-year stay at Old Trafford.
Your Site News understands United decided not to trigger a 12-month extension in his contract as they look to overhaul their midfield.
Casemiro has made 26 appearances across all competitions this season, scoring five goals and adding two assists. He has started in all six of Michael Carrick's games in charge of the club.

Chelsea legend Terry 'frustrated' at being overlooked for Blues caretaker role
Chelsea legend John Terry says he is "frustrated" at missing out on the caretaker role and "should have been a part" of the interim coaching team after Enzo Maresca's sacking.
The ex-Blues captain was not among the staff appointed in temporary charge in January, as U21s coach Calum McFarlane was handed the caretaker job following Maresca's exit.
McFarlane oversaw a draw at Manchester City and a defeat at Fulham before Liam Rosenior took permanent charge.
But Terry, who works part-time at Chelsea with the U18s and U21s sides, was not involved for the two games.
Asked by the Golf Life YouTube channel if he was annoyed at not being a part of the interim setup, Terry responded: "Not annoyed, probably more frustrated, because I was certainly part of that 21s group that went over.
"So even if I didn't take the team Calum took the team, did really well, got a result out of the game.
"I feel like I should have been part of that.
"People have got to make decisions. I love it when people make decisions, and then they go 'yes' or 'no'. Clearly, the ownership, or whoever made those decisions - the sporting directors - have gone 'no' not to include me, for whatever reason. I don't know why."
BBC Sport claim part of Terry's frustration comes from having completed all his coaching qualifications.
The 45-year-old has previously been an assistant head coach to Dean Smith during spells at Aston Villa and Leicester.
Terry currently manages an indoor six-a-side team in the UK Baller League, called the 26ers.
'Onana wants to re-establish himself as Man Utd No. 1'
Andre Onana wants to re-establish himself as Manchester United's No. 1 goalkeeper when he returns from his loan at Trabzonspor, according to The Guardian.
Onana departed Old Trafford on a temporary move in September after United brought in Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for an initial 18m.
United's new goalkeeper has restored calm between the sticks after an erratic two years with Onana, whose loan in Turkey concludes at the end of the season.
The Cameroon international has a contract with United until the summer of 2028.
